More international press about the Global Feminisms exhibition from Bulgaria!
Diana Popova, “Boryana Rossa: Bio (art) and Cyber (Feminism),” Kultura Weekly, #33 (2472), October 3, 2007. This is an interview with artist Boryana Rossa, who talks about Global Feminisms, the history of the women’s rights movement in communist countries and the connections of these ideas with contemporary cyber feminism theory. Rossa also describes her participation in The Bioart Initiative at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and her artistic transition from a classical education at the Academy of Fine Arts, Sofia, Bulgaria to contemporary tech and media arts and theory (Published in Bulgarian).
Boryana Rossa, Global Feminisms at the Brooklyn Museum, 39 Grama, Wet, #0036, July 7th, 2007. This article is an extended description of the exhibition, and features information about the works of roughly ten of the artists, and an overall discussion about the intentions of the curators. The author evaluates the importance of the exhibition on an international level and in particular for the countries in Eastern Europe (Published in Bulgarian).
Dear Readers: Below is a list of press compiled about the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, the permanent installation of The Dinner Party and, of course, our inaugural show Global Feminisms. (Global Feminisms Remix press to come!)

We’d like to have as comprehensive a record as possible.

From a Flickr post:
nicola says: Bitch Magazine has a print article (no online version, sorry) about The Dinner Party, which is soon to re-debut at its permanent home, the new Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum. FYI.
Check out the February issue of ARTnews:
This February, our focus is women in the art world. On the occasion of major shows, books, and conferences on feminist art at the Museum of Modern Art, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, we assess the state of feminist art today. We interview renowned scholar Linda Nochlin, co-curator of the inaugural exhibition at the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art opening at the Brooklyn Museum. And we profile Korean-born artist Kimsooja, whose labor-intensive fabric projects, performances, and installations comment on female identity and exile.
Read selected articles online or pick up the issue on newstands for even more.
Judy Chicago and the Center are featured in today’s New York Times!
Ms. Chicago, Party of 39? Your Table’s Ready in Brooklyn
by Robin Pogrebin
In the New York Times article, Chicago talks about The Dinner Party:
“‘It’s important to understand that this didn’t just happen,’ she said, dressed in jeans and black sneakers on a trip to New York from her New Mexico home. ‘It’s also important to understand that resistance can be overcome. One of the reasons I was able to stand up to it was because I knew my history. I knew what the women on the table had been through.’
‘The Dinner Party’s work isn’t done yet,’ she added.”
The photo above was taken when Judy came to the Museum to see The Dinner Party installed in the new gallery for the first time. Photograph by Adam Husted
The Center is featured in the Winter 2007 issue of Ms. magazine including articles about The Dinner Party and our inaugural exhibition, Global Feminisims.
