Synopsis

Breaking In Two is the first comprehensive exhibition of work by women artists who are mothers, where the work itself integrates the maternal experience, the relationship to the body, the child, the family, and the society at large. The exhibition, which is part of Pacific Standard Time, will feature a multi-cultural group of four generations of nationally and internationally recognized artist-mothers selected to represent the multi-faceted and changing realities of mother­hood. The exhibition includes painting, drawing, sculpture, collage and assemblage, installation, photog­raphy, film/video, poetry/writing and performance. Curator Bruria Finkel, herself an artist, asserts that “the subject of motherhood was taboo in the art world in the 70’s; women artists were advised not to disclose their motherhood status for it might interfere with their ability to progress in the art world.”
