Womanhouse V4.0 celebrates the 40th anniversary of the CalArts' Feminist Art Program's project of the same name. We hope to re-envision this project and ask how issues of feminism, identity, the home, gender roles, politics, artistic production and geography affect us today. How do we get from here to there? ("There" being a collaborative installation-performance-house-takeover early 2012.) We talk. We read. We look. We create. We talk some more. Join the dialogue!

Louise Bourgeois and the Femme Maison
In the mid-1940s, the amazing Louise Bourgeois created a series of works entitled Femme Maison, or Woman House. There are fascinating connections to be made between the projects, which I will explore further this summer in my own writing and on this blog.

I thought this post by Mira Schor was an excellent tribute to Bourgeois. Such a fascinating artist.
