Thrilled that Bilge’s work Cedar Forest, 1989, is included in ecofeminism(s), an incredible group exhibition at Thomas Erben Gallery, curated by Monika Fabijanska. This exhibition explores the legacy of some of the pioneers of ecofeminist art: Helène Aylon, Betsy Damon, Agnes Denes, Bilge Friedlaender, Ana Mendieta, Aviva Rahmani, and Cecilia Vicuña, and how their ideas and strategies are continued, developed or opposed by the younger generation – Andrea Bowers, Eliza Evans, Sonya Kelliher-Combs, Carla Maldonado, Mary Mattingly, Jessica Segall, and Hanae Utamura. It also features the ecofeminist works of Lynn Hershman Leeson and Barbara Kruger, who escape these categories.
ecofeminism(s) is open to the public - with safe visiting protocols in place - weekdays through Friday, July 24.
Thomas Erben Gallery, 526 West 26th Street, floor 4, New York, NY 10001
