AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

INTERSECTING IDENTITIES

An Exhibition Open to All Self-Identified Women Artists in New York

Opening Reception March 26th, 2011, up through May 31st.

Submission Deadline: MARCH 1, 2011

In recognition of Women’s History Month we want to celebrate the
contribution of New York’s women artists with an exhibition honoring our
creative power. As women we inhabit intersecting, often conflicting,
identities. Our creative expression is informed by our unique experiences as
women, as members of varying classes, races, sexualities, as mothers,
daughters and lovers, as New Yorkers and as artists. The show will examine
how New York’s women artists channel these themes through their work, and,
by exhibiting a variety of lived realities, will attempt to provide insight
into the lives of women today. We would like a wide variety of media by
women from all backgrounds and all paths to claim this space of acceptance.
The Center is a unique platform for female and queer artistic expression. We
have previously exhibited the work of Mireia Sallarés, Catherine Opie, Kiki
Smith, Joann Santangelo, Fierce Pussy, Wu Ingrid Tsang, Catherine Gund,
Magdalena Castañeda, Kelly Klein and The Guerrilla Girls among others.
