Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang: 45 Years of Art and Feminism
Museo del Bilbao, Spain, 2007
Featuring Three Weeks in May
The exhibition, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. 45 years of Art and Feminism shows 69 works and 36 artists and 3 feminist groups from various countries which initiated and/or have continued to give substance to what has come to be known as “feminist art”. In turn, the title of the exhibition -Kiss Kiss Bang Bang-, manifests the contradictions and disparities brought about among the stereotypes that have been created with respect to women in patriarchal cultures and the reality of a group that has fought against them relentlessly. The intention is to create a confrontation between the traditional idea of femininity and women, their sexual objectivization in the field of culture -Kiss Kiss-, and the other reality: woman as an active and enterprising subject and a relentless fighter for the achievement of the status of first class citizen -Bang Bang-.
