calendar icon05 Apr 2016    

Lincoln, Neb.--“The Female Complex” will be on display in the MEDICI Gallery in Richards Hall from April 18-22.

The exhibition will be curated and installed by Kristin Mahan as part of her final project for her gallery management class.

A closing reception will be held on Friday, April 22 from 5-7 p.m. in the gallery, which is located on the first floor of Richards Hall.

Feminism is nothing new—it has been around for more than a century—so why is it still so important to this day? As society progresses and the older waves of feminism accomplish much of what they set out to do, problems that were always there but never dealt with begin to rise to the surface.

"The Female Complex" will present the multiplicity of the emerging wave of feminism through contemporary art. Each artist presented uses personal experiences to inform their work, which allows the work to be honest. The wide variety of mediums and subject matter in this exhibition will form a dialogue that reflects the wide variety of issues placed under the umbrella of this developing feminist movement.

Participating artists include Samantha Aasen, Brooke Denton, Jeanne Donegan, Tessa Edgren, Lisa Guevara, Sheree Hainey, Katie Hovencamp, Kayla Linden, Roberta Malkin, Sidney Mullis, Claudia Rose and Suzanna Scott.

Gallery hours are Monday, April 18 from 8-11 a.m.; Tuesday, April 19 from noon-6 p.m.; Wednesday, April 20 from 8-11 a.m. and 6-9 p.m.; Thursday, April 21 from noon-6 p.m.; and Friday, April 22 from 1-7 p.m.
