Adrian Piper is a American conceptual and performance artist. She was born on September 20, 1948, New York. She is known for her provocative works that treat race, gender, class, and identity. She studied sculpture and painting at the School of Visual Arts in New York City with an associate’s degree in New York in 1969. She then studied philosophy in the City College of New York in 1974 and Harvard university in 1981. Her early art style was conceptual art tradition. Her art work contains both art and philosophy. I like her art works as I think they are very new concept and I like most of her art works are in black and white which made the tone serious for us to really think about.

One thought on “Contemporary, Post Modernism, and Women in Art

  1. Sisy,

    I must say you chose some interesting if obscure artists which is a good thing. Shows that you are thinking outside the box here. I would put Helen Frankenthaler in the Abstract Expressionist category though, but I quibble. Good job getting caught up with these. Your Pecha Kucha was a bit rough so I ended up giving you a 6/10. Your final assignments were both 7/10 respectively for both acrylic paintings.
    Hope you have a good Holiday break.

    Jeff
