Re-Scripting the Story (1970-2000)

At the University Art Museum Continues through February 22, 2002

The University Art Museum, University at Albany, State University of New York is pleased to announce its newest exhibition: Mary Beth Edelson: Re-Scripting the Story (1970-2000), which opened January 23 and continues through February 22, 2002. The exhibition surveys 30 years of Edelson’s work, including her seminal posters, collages, photographs, drawings, videos, story-gathering boxes, and transfer images on chiffon fabric. Throughout her prolific career, Edelson has engaged in an ongoing exploration into issues surrounding female identity. Her work, both as an artist and a leader in the ’70s feminist art movement, is widely discussed within the discourse of feminist art practice as well as fields as diverse as psychoanalysis, art history, theology, and women’s studies. MUSEUM HOURS: Wednesday through Friday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, noon-4 p.m. Closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
