April 17 | 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Join Associate Curator Yuri Stone, Registrar Ariel Caruso, and Director of Registration Annie Farrar on a tour of Andrea Bowers at Glenstone.
The exhibition, which includes more than 40 works, including a broad selection from Glenstone’s collection alongside important loans from the artist, peer institutions, and private collectors, is one of the largest presentations of Bowers’ work to date. Tracing a history of activism that interweaves ecological concerns with the fight for bodily autonomy, the exhibition includes works that reference several generations of intersectional activists.
Bowers’ multidisciplinary practice bridges fine art with direct action. Over nearly three decades she has produced work including video, sculpture, neon, and drawings on paper and cardboard that amplify and archive the work of activists. Bowers embeds herself in allyship with front-line activists, earning trust through collaboration and long-running engagement.
