Collections: Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art: Untitled, from the "I Need A Hero" series

08:31 05/24/2009

This sounds hokey. Does the artist even know what the hell she's talking about or know what she is trying to say through her "art"... is the artist the one who actually created the art? It seems like her talk was written by someone else... or she sounds like she's reading someone else's description of _her_ works.. how bizzarre!
