Manchester University Press Addressing the Other Woman: Textual Correspondences in Feminist Art and Writing
This book analyses how three artists – Adrian Piper, Nancy Spero and Mary Kelly – worked with the visual dimensions of language in the 1960s and 1970s. These artists used text and images of writing to challenge female stereotypes, addressing viewers and asking them to participate in the project of imagining women beyond familiar words and images of subordination. The book explores this dimension of their work through the concept of ‘the other woman’, a utopian wish to reach women and correspond with them across similarities and differences. To make the artwork’s aspirations more concrete, it places the artists in correspondence with three writers – Angela Davis, Valerie Solanas, and Laura Mulvey – who also addressed the limited range of images through which women are allowed to become visible.

Henie-Onstad Kunstsenter Niki de Saint Phalle
Niki de Saint Phalle (1930-2002) made a name for herself on the international art scene during the late 1950s and early 1960s. She was a key figure in the new generation of young artists who, at the beginning of the 1960s, were redefining the boundaries of what an artwork could be. Saint Phalle had a clear socio-political agenda and feminist commitment throughout her career. To an increasing degree, she worked in close dialogue with society and her audience, and by about the mid-1970s she invited them into monumental architectonic constructions in public settings. The catalogue explores different facets of this pioneering artist’s practices, such as her feminist commitment, her public art and her role as muse for the fashion giant, Dior.
