Revelations, a solo exhibition by the pioneering feminist artist Judy Chicago, marks her first presentation in the Netherlands. The exhibition delves into themes of gender, power, social justice, language, creation, and forgotten stories, significantly informed by Chicago's Jewish heritage. Known for challenging the male-dominated art world, Chicago's practice is characterized by a commitment to craft and experimentation, giving visibility to women's experiences and addressing their absence in the Western cultural canon. The exhibition is named after an unpublished illuminated manuscript created by Chicago in the early 1970s, which was recently published for the first time. Organized around the manuscript's chapters, 'Revelations' highlights Chicago's focus on drawing, featuring early abstract and minimalist works, archival and unseen materials, immersive video installations of site-specific performances, and preparatory studies for major projects like 'The Dinner Party,' 'Birth Project,' and 'PowerPlay.' Participatory elements encourage visitor engagement with the breadth of her practice. The exhibition reveals how Jewish themes and traditions have fundamentally shaped her feminist artistic journey.
Admission to the exhibition is €20.00. Visitors can purchase tickets via the provided link for booking information.
