Rightful place in history. For mary fallin my sister beauty is a necessity. She loves to set things in motion it keeps her mind sharp. And for her everything is in motion everything flows. Mary bower meister believes the universe is too vast to be pinned down. No one told me what art is and what art isnt maybe fleeing from all kinds of schools has made me what i am i learned a little technique but what i really wanted to learn i didnt learn in school ensure. The exhibition in the village sunders invites visitors to enter Mary Baumeister as world she describes the process of recognition in constantly changing perspectives to make this clear she adds optical lenses to many of her work. As one lens flips the statement around one distorts it from right to left above all this alienation effect with the optical lenses relativize is the statements absolute because all statements ive known since this is.

Shes fascinated by the beaches of the mediterranean where she collects stones that have been shaped by the water and waves over the centuries and uses them in her work. When i work with stones i feel im absorbing energy through my hands its really a Young Persons work but i cant get enough of it so i cant just let it be im fascinated with scouring the oceans of this world for lovely stone i shouldnt start. In one thousand nine hundred eighty nine power mice to made an experimental film for german television. Stockhausen the man shed fallen in love with in the one nine hundred seventy s.

She has a constant need to create order and chaos while at the same time breaking up the order she finds on her travels. To go through life with her eyes open and enter into a dialogue with nature. Its a constant give and take. And for Mary Bell Meister thats a beautiful thing the results are often the surprising.

Mary baumeister and auntie is too was to have him gone even to the avalon county. Terminus activists gorilla girls were ahead of their time when they formed in one thousand nine hundred five but times change now theyre embraced by the art world theyve always attack to. Make gorilla girls the target of their activism is the male dominated art world they say theyre not ready to make nice but even if theyre angry theyre funny too. And they sure know how to attract attention. We really. That using humor helped even someone who disagree with us to laugh at the situation. The selfproclaimed bad girls use aliases like frida kahlo and care to clothes names of dead Women Artists kahlo and call vets are both original members of the group which has over the years numbered around sixty members. And crazy creative kind of activism has inspired other people and they are doing the same thing also to turn these big institutions around or to affect and change any change in fighting discrimination in the world at large as we really are and i think what we were to is just do one thing if it works do nothing if it doesnt work do another well i think we have to change the conscious consciousness about the issue unfortunately there is still a lot of tokenism where an institution will show one woman one artist of color one trans artist and think that the issue is taken care of and theres a great deal of into the quality of our world.

Well in the museum or an Art Collection is supposed to document the history of a culture how can it document the. History of a culture without voices. In the history otherwise its not a history its just the record. They always wear their monkey masks as theyre all purpose disguises they always appear anonymously washed. You know in the beginning we did it to protect ourselves because the art world was a small place but actually its been. Back and its more interesting ways that we didnt imagine in the beginning one thing is we could be any we see ourselves as working for all our second the secret of who we might. People want to think about it its attracting people to what were doing even though theyve never found out who any of us are. They havent just declared war on the art world hollywood was in the gorilla girl sites long before me to. Be anatomically correct oscar wife and male little beer belly because the facts speak for themselves the oscars go mainly to white men. But theyve long been in museums themselves their current exhibition and hung over germany deals with some surprising numbers still for twenty twelfth the number of exhibitions by women made up just nine percent of the total since then its already up to sixty eight percent and again you know we really National Search our souls about this is our favorite place to be as an outside protesting inside an institution but there are lots of people inside who are trying to change things and museums are such a great place for people to come and see something that theyve never seen before makes me think about.

The illegitimate children in children of no importance what amateur actors from berlins lower classes. Is a tragedy seen on screen was very close to their reality.
