So happy to be part of this show. burst from the maze and somethins happenin both 4x6. I keep rereading this and it keeps resonating:
“The theme for this exhibition was accumulated during episode 28 of the A/M Podcast, a conversation between host, Kaylan Buteyn, and artist Allison Reimus. In the episode, Allison recalls the time she read a statement in a New York Times article about how “You can’t paint at night in your kitchen and hope to be a good artist. It doesn’t work that way.”
In true Artist/Mother fashion, this seemed like a great statement
to respond to for a group show, as an act of resistance and
rejection. To imply that good art cannot be made in domestic
spaces, or that a person cannot claim the title of artist without meeting
arbitrary requirements is a patriarchal myth, one that artists who are mothers
have been resisting for decades.”
