WHO'S AT THE TABLE TODAY ?
Considering the Boston Art Scene Now
with Kathleen Bitetti and Barbara O’Brien

Come hear two influential Boston voices on art share
their perspectives on the Boston art scene today

Thursday, December 6 at 7PM
Emmanuel College, 400 The Fenway, Boston
Administration Meeting Room, Administration Building, Room 116

Kathleen Bitetti has been the Executive Director of the Artists Foundation since 1992.  She is also the director of the Lillian Immig Gallery at Emmanuel College.  From 1989-92, she was the director of the Harbor Gallery at the University of Massachusetts, Boston, where she received a BA in Economics and Art.  Bitetti has been exhibiting her conceptually and politically based installation art since the 1990s.  She has exhibited at Mobius, the Somerville Museum, New Bedford Art Museum, and many other galleries.  In 2005, her work was included in Pretty Sweet, a group exhibition at the Decordova Museum, which currently holds her work in their permanent collection.  She has been an artist in residence at the Fuller Museum, the Essex Art Center, and the City of Quincy.

Barbara O’Brien is Assistant Professor of Art and Music and Director of the Trustman Gallery at Simmons College.  During the 2005-6 academic year, she was a Visiting Scholar at The Women’s Studies Resource Center at Brandeis University where her topic of research was “Self-defined variables of success for mid-career women artists.” She is a published critic and scholar. From 2002-2006 she was the Regional Reviews Coordinator and Editor-in-Chief of Art New England Magazine.  She is currently the New England Alliance Coordinator for ArtTable, an organization of executive women in the arts.  O’Brien holds a BA in Women’s Studies and BS in Journalism from the University of Kansas, and an MFA in Photography from the Rhode Island School of Design.  She was awarded the National Alumni Award for Professional Achievement from RISD in 2006.

“Global Feminisms” at Davis Museum on October 28th 2007
A group of 10 members gathered in the foyer of the museum, before going inside to see the exhibition. “Global Feminisms,” co-curated by Maura Reilly, Ph.D., Curator of the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, Brooklyn Museum, and Linda Nochlin, Ph.D., Lila Acheson Wallace Professor of Modern Art, Institute of Fine Arts, New York University, features 80 international artists under the age of forty:

The show consists of work by approximately eighty women artists from around the world and includes work in all media—painting, sculpture, photography, film, video, installation, and performance. Its goal is not only to showcase a large sampling of contemporary feminist art from a global perspective but also to move beyond the specifically Western brand of feminism that has been perceived as the dominant voice of feminist and artistic practice since the early 1970s.  http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/exhibitions/global_feminisms/.

Spontaneous conversations occurred as members moved in small groups around the gallery space.  After viewing the work, we reconvened as a group, outside the gallery space to develop a more in-depth discussion about the work.  People had a range of reactions to the work that encompassed intrigue and admiration, as well as feeling varying degrees of discomfort in reaction to the more violent imagery captured in the videos.  People referenced historical works within the feminist movement, to create a context for viewing some of the work.

The meeting provided a focus and good company for viewing this challenging exhibition.
