Catalogue for an exhibition at The Galleries at Moore featuring images of women by eighteen women artists working in photography, video, sculpture, performance, and sound, exploring femininity, identity, and sexuality, from the collection of Dennis and Debra Scholl. Includes artwork by Janine Antoni, Mariko Mori, Catherine Opie, Pipilotti Rist, Carolee Schneemann and Cindy Sherman, whose photography, film and performance work from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s represents the historical context for much of the art in the exhibition. Also featured are contemporary works by Tanyth Berkeley, Rineke Dijkstra, Trisha Donnelly, Naomi Fisher, Jenny Gage, Anna Gaskell, Kim Gordon, Katy Grannan, Melanie Schiff, Meredyth Sparks, Helen Van Meene, and Bettina VonZwehl, who use traditional genres of self-portraiture, portraiture, narrative, and landscape to probe definitions of beauty, celebrity and notions of identity and its relation to the uncertain territory between adolescence and adulthood. Curated by Lorie Mertes.
