</div>Hello everyone,<br />
I wanted to introduce Joanna Frueh's new blog. Joanna was my professor at UNR back in the day. She really helped me understand my role as a woman, as and artist, as a feminist. Please check it out: <a href="http://www.joannafrueh.com/blog/">http://www.joannafrueh.com/blog/</a><br />

Her work is based in sculpture, and following this she has made a unique series of monoprints from cast paper. I love how they celebrate the realistic feminine form, and the bold use of color.<br /><br />Check her out!

I'm particularly interested in reading some current art analysis from a feminist and/or GLBT point of view. I'm looking for a publication that intersects gender politics with art; something that really sinks its teeth in.<br /><br />I discovered <a href="http://web.ukonline.co.uk/n.paradoxa/">n.paradoxa</a> and it looks quite interesting and established.

This roundtable discussion with artists, critics, and historians will include a critical review and analysis of such events. It will also include an attempt to envision the steps to follow in the collective efforts to write recent feminist art history and implement the lessons learned from these initiatives. Participants include Janine Antoni, artist; Aruna D'Souza, Assistant Professor of Art History and Women's Studies, Binghamton University; Sharon Hayes, artist; and Molly Nesbit, Professor of Art History, Vassar College, contributing editor, Artforum, and (with Hans Ulrich Obrist and Rirkrit Tiravanija) organizer of the ongoing project Utopia Stations.

(Refer to Linda Nochlin’s 1972 Buy my Bananas.) Yet, does this strategy break the stereotypes of representation or merely confirm the conventions of nudity without trying to understand what it is to be a male posing naked in front of a camera?<br /> In my own work focusing on male nudes, I’ve attempted to refute the strategy of using direct satire, instead finding postures and poses that correspond to the personality of the man being photographed. Inspired by the works of Karen Tweedy Holmes I strive to challenge the stereotypes developed for nudes of our gender. Karen Tweedy Holmes began taking photographs of male nudes in 1967. At the time she objected to the fact that, in America, the concept of the nude had come to signify woman rather than being a generic term indicating either sex. She also rejected the concept of photographing professional models, preferring to represent friends in order to avoid the art-class clichés and the emotional barrier that use of a professional model might raise.<br />There is a familiarity and playfulness evident in some of my works, especially the images of Isaac (visit www.candacenicol.com ). Because we developed a strong friendship during grad school, the images of Issac show candor and relaxed personality. In a conversation about the work, Isaac stated:<br /><br />It’s a different feeling being the model for these than it is simply criticizing them from the outside. I think the ones featuring me are pretty compelling. Especially the one where I’m removing a sock. It’s definitely not what one would think of as an objectifying pose; however the inclusion of some clothing, but not the pants, adds emphasis to the sexual nature of the picture. There’s an uncomfortability for me as a viewer, though the model (who is also me) seems totally at ease, not violated.<br /><br />The development of trust and rapport with the model are key factors in the success of my work. A relaxed intimacy, both on the part of myself and the model seems to be achieved, allowing for insight into a different side of masculinity.Candace Garlockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07392777378709910583noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2008711429339078854.post-26221630519309331392008-09-22T09:49:00.000-07:002008-09-22T10:00:45.547-07:00Feminist Printmakers in MAPC email discussionI just thought it was time for a blog- so many people are interested and excited about this!
