WACK!: Art and the Feminist Revolution September 21st - December 16th National Museum of Women In The Arts, 1250 New York Avenue Washington DC, 20005-3970, USA Tel: 202-783-5000 WACK! is the first comprehensive exhibition to explore the formation, development, and impact of feminism in post-war contemporary art from 1965 to 1980. The exhibition's story begins in 1965 with important proto-feminist work by Louise Bourgeois, Yayoi Kusama, Yoko Ono, Yvonne Rainer, and others who influenced the feminist art of the 1970s. It continues with iconic works by feminist artists such as Chantal Akerman, Eleanor Antin, Judith Baca, Judy Chicago, Ana Mendieta, Ulrike Ottinger, Howardena Pindell, Betye Saar, Miriam Schapiro, Nancy Spero, and Katharina Sieverding, among many others. The exhibition ends in 1980, with early work by artists such as Cindy Sherman and Lorraine O'Grady, whose work was informed by feminist practices of their foremothers. Organized by the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art (LAMoCA), NMWA is the second venue on a tour that will travel next to MoMO P.S.1.

Cosey's work is presently being shown in two exhibitions which run through to mid December.
Contemporary Art Centre of Galicia, Santiago de Compostela, SPAIN
13th September - 9th December 2007
Much has changed since the 1970s when, in the Anglo-Saxon context ofproduction and cultural agitation, diverse artists and theorists gotinvolved in the task of demystifying the conventional tools of gender.However, it is necessary to rethink the practices that gave life to theproductions of deconstruction and revelation of diverse feministcurrents, studies of gender, and postcolonial studies. This display will analyze different productions of this age to confront andjuxtapose them against current reality.

Comprising work in a broad range of media, including painting, sculpture, photography, film, video and performance art, the exhibition is organized around themes based on media, geography, formal concerns, and collective aesthetic and political impulses.
