The Feminist Art Project

The Feminist Art Project will be presenting TFAP@CAA 2014 Day of Panels at the College Art Association Conference 2014 in Chicago. Organized by Jennie Klein and Myrel Chernick, the panels will be held at Columbia College on Saturday, February 15, 2014 from 9:30 am - 5pm.

The theme of the 2014 TFAP day of panels, titled The M Word, is the representation of the maternal in art and visual culture. We are particularly interested in proposals that address the following topics:

• Exhibitions that have addressed or included work about motherhood/maternity/maternal ideology
• The historical representation of maternity, particularly those representations that originate from cultures other than western European.
• Artists whose work addresses the history/re-enactment of art in their work.
• The maternal body
• The performance of Maternity and the maternal body
• The visual representation of biological and non-biological maternity, including non-normate maternity, adoptive mothers, infertility, and the performance of motherhood
• The ethical implications of working with children
• Mothers who collaborate with their children.
• What it means to be a mother and an artist today in relationship to the issue of M/E/A/N/I/N/G on artists/mothers.

If interested in participating, please send a 500 word abstract, along with name and contact information by July 30 to Myrel Chernick and Jennie Klein via email. myrelch@gmail.com jennieklein64@gmail.com
