I am designing a "virtual exhibition" about 16th-century German/Northern European images of Judith, centered on Cranach's painting series c.1530s (a few examples above).
What Title for an art exhibition is most likely to get your attention/interest (especially by the first 2-3 words)?
Women with Swords: Imaging Judith in the Northern Renaissance
Judith in Germany: Weaponizing Women in the Northern Renaissance
Judith!: Weaponizing Women in Northern Renaissance Art
Weaponizing Women: Images of Judith in the German(/Northern) Renaissance
Dressed to Kill: Imaging Judith in the Northern Renaissance
Women with Swords: Representing(/Illustrating?) Judith in the German Renaissance
Another option that I will put in the comments
the show will have several prints/drawings, a pedigree court book, a tapestry, some coins and a few other smaller objects all with different ways of depicting Judith (and normally Holofernes too), and there WILL be swords as well.
*I know all of you on tungle dot com obviously want to be in a room surrounded by women holding swords and severed heads, but I need a title that is snappy and would also get the attention of the normies, tourists, snooty intellectuals, and people looking for the bathroom or the Monets.
Prominent museum directors declaring that they are "deeply shaken" by climate activists is a resounding failure of leadership.
“We need museum directors to become actual cultural leaders who know how to identify and address society’s most pressing problems, and actively engage in solving them. I’m calling on you to stop thinking like caretakers and start acting like changemakers.“
Representation alone will not end inequity in art museums.
“Although the aesthetic presence of BIPOC work in museums is indispensable and allows room for pure visual appreciation, genuine equity will not develop until its multivalent cultural and aesthetic patterns are fully incorporated into how and why the gallery/museum is there in the first place. The work must be contextualized through BIPOC epistemologies.”

What did John Frederick Kensett, a 19th-century artist part of the Hudson River School, have in common with Thomas Matteson, a blanket chest-maker from Vermont?

Wang Huangsheng: The Chinese Museum in 2012
"With 2012 behind us, it is necessary to organise our thoughts on our industry and on the work that we have done.
In May of 2012 during Art HK, it was announced that the giant Yinchuan Museum would soon be erected in the northwest of China. The news caused great excitement, as well as a great amount of fervent discussion and criticism. During a long period of expectation, the governing body of the project to construct this new national museum had already quietly decided that this 130,000 square-meter 'Art Museum Aircraft Carrier' would be truly worth the wait. However, as members of the same industry, we have kept a keen eye on this project, but at no point could we find even the beginnings of this apparently already settled project. Apparently, it is now undergoing slight modifications, a few details yet to be confirmed". Via LEAP.
