Lynda Benglis From: Joanne Mattera Joanne Mattera /26659429

Joanne Mattera says it all comes down to this:
BLOGPIX IN CYBERSPACE . Blogpix at Platform Project Space Blogpix, the Show Blogpix, the Panel ART FAIR REPORTS . Armory Week in New York Fair Weather , Miami

Still not being convinced, Joanne Mattera replies:

Joanne Mattera is not really sure about that:
The Wo men: Part 1: "Daughters . . ." at Pavel Zoubok .. If I exhaled at Daughters of the Revolution, I was positively breathless at The Female Gaze, so welcome was it to see so much work by women in just two shows in Chelsea at the same time. . The curatorial conceit at Cheim & Read is to counter the notion of the male gaze by providing a group of works in which "the artist and subject do not relate as 'voyeur' and 'object' but as woman and woman.' " In this beautifully curated show, which spans over a century, 40 female artists--many from their own roster--turn the conventional male gaze inside out. Here there's pleasure in equality versus the longstanding idea of power over passivity.

However, Joanne Mattera states that:
9:46 AM Chris Ashley said... To be fair, I think Coplans photographic body of work deserves a fair amount more credit than the summary "spent a good portion of his career photographing and exhibiting his own little weenie." Countering "the notion of the male gaze" is more than a "curatorial conceit," but was and is a fundamental conceptual basis for much art made in the 70 s and early 80 s. So, I wonder if Coplans work counters the "Youth Gaze" or the "Old Men Make My Eyeballs Hurt Gaze" by offering really the first frank and beautifully compelling images of an aging male body. And much of that body of work has no weenie in it.

Joanne Mattera is not really sure about that:

As a result of that, Joanne Mattera belives:

Joanne Mattera explains:
From the third gallery looking back into the main space, with the Bourgeois vitrine to orient you. On the wall: Zoe Leonard, Untitled, 1988-90, gelatin silver prints, 6 x 9 inches each

Joanne Mattera brings a word of caution:
What you see when you enter, above: a small cut-paper work by Kara Walker, Untitled , 1995 (foreground, under the exhibition title); and Deborah Kass, Double Red Barbara (The Jewish Jackie Series), 1993. The two photographic portraits below are also in this room

Still not being convinced, Joanne Mattera replies:
