- Description
- Emphasizing the importance of artists including Bobby Baker, Anne Bean, Catherine Elwes, Rose English, Alexis Hunter, Hannah O'Shea, and Kate Walker, and examining works such as Mary Kelly's Post Partum Document, Judy Clark's 1973 exhibition Issues, and Cosey Fanni Tutti's Prostitution shown in 1976, the author investigates some art pieces from the 1970s in Britain. From the perspective of the feminist body as site for making and exhibiting works the author examines themes that look at the body as material, the body and performance, and the alternative creative platforms in 1970s feminist art.
