These glowing boxes emitted a inconsistent changing light and some weird post-rock guitar. Needless to say, Colin got caught up in here for five minutes while I went back to worship the subject of the previous post...
This was a chair!
A little graphic design from the collection...
So, those posts are a vast majority of the feminist collection at the Centre Pompidou. Though not every piece carried an overtly feminist message, the fact that a museum like the Pompidou has dedicated an entire floor to only female artists is quite amazing. At the met in NYC, 85% of the nude paintings are of women, but only 5% of the artists in the museum are the product of a female. Though I feel that the rights of men and women are a little more even in the states, the French will never be a people who do not fight for change. It's amazing to me that a curator would be willing to make such an impact with this collection.
Pompidou, I applaud you.
