It's time to celebrate everyone's favourite art world dissidents, The Guerilla Girls!
Kim and Luca discuss the 'conscience of the art world', the anonymous art activist group The Guerilla Girls. Set up in the 1980s, their work has focused on the under-representation of women artists and artists of colour in the art world. Donning gorilla masks and using female artists from history as their pseudonyms, they produce striking, newspaper-style billboards and posters that use facts and statistics to raise awareness about the disparity in representation and as calls to action to address it.
As ever, the conversation is far-reaching but includes...
- the pros/cons of anonymity and pseudonyms in activism
- issues of safety surrounding activism
- Some of the GG's best loved campaigns and visuals
- The democratisation of art and mass-manufacturing
- Their newest commission as part of Art Night in the UK, The Male Graze
- And much more
