A tour of a groundbreaking exhibition The Un-Heroic Act: The Un-Heroic Act is a concentrated survey of works by a diverse roster of artists representing three generations and including Jenny Holzer, Suzanne Lacy, Ana Mendieta, Senga Nengudi, Yoko Ono, and Kara Walker – which aims to fill a gap in the history of art. Often strikingly beautiful, these works are rarely shown or their true meaning is obscured. The curator’s research shows that rape constitutes one of central themes in women’s art, and the aim of the exhibition is to analyze its rich iconography in all mediums: drawing, painting, sculpture and installation, photography, video, film, new media, performance, and social practice.
