We like to imagine that the arc of history follows some kind of trajectory, like a book or a movie. Artists like Margaret Meehan, however, recognize that there is no clear chain of events, that history is illogical, directionless, and unpredictable. “Hope is the Thing with Feathers,” her recent exhibition, interrogated the iterations of contemporary feminist protest by examining it as an unstable cycle that moves forward and regresses over time. Meehan’s works mine contradictions, emphasizing the precarious nature of cultures and social structures. Full review here.

For Artpace’s 25th anniversary year, Artpace has committed to focusing all non-residency exhibition programming to female artists in 2020. With this in mind, we will begin our 25th year with the exhibition “Visibilities: Intrepid Women of Artpace.” Join us for the opening reception for “Visibilities: Intrepid Women of Artpace” in the Hudson Showroom and Main Space Galleries.

The exhibition will feature work by more than fifteen artists. including: Laura Aguilar,Jenelle Esparza, Janet Flohr, Koo Jeong-aRegina, José Galindo,Mona Hatoum, Autumn Knight, Jennifer Ling Datchuk, Margaret Meehan, Katrina Moorhead, Wangechi Mutu, Lorraine O’Grady, Linda Pace, Joyce J. Scott, Wu Tsang, Kathy Vargas, and Martha Wilson.
 The exhibition is on view January 9th – April 26th, 2020
