The Centre Pompidou in Paris is presenting elles@centrepompidou, an interdisciplinary exhibit featuring more than 500 works of women artists from the 20th century to the present.
Part of the exhibit, which is designed to take an in-depth look at the place women occupy in culture, is named after Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own. It includes the work of artists who explore the idea of private space, mental projections and exhibition space.
Artists included are Dorothea Tanning, Tatiana Trouvé, Charlotte Perriand and Sophie Calle.
Read more about the exhibit, which runs through May 24, 2010.
I didn’t get a chance to go before I left for the summer but I’ll be sure to check it out (and report back) when I get home in September!
