Bonds of Love: A Project by Lisa Kirk
August 15 - September 24, 2005

An exhibition curated by SVA alumnus Lisa Kirk (BFA 1990 Fine Arts) featuring the work of Laura Anderson Barbata, Fiona Banner, Anne Collier, Camille Norment, Tara Mateik, Josephine Meckseper, SVA faculty member Marilyn Minter, Aleksandra Mir, Kati Heck, Laura Parnes, Maria E. Pineres, Goody-B. Wiseman, and Sherry Wong.

"Bonds of Love unites a group of artists if only for a few weeks. Their work is not bound by issues of love or romance, but only by a curatorial premise questioning the meaning and validity of an all-women exhibition (and celebrating the idea at the same time). Their work is also bound in part by the desire to achieve a dialogue with the all-male-show Today's Man of 2004 which was also held at John Connelly Presents and so in that sense it is site-specific. Bonds of Love, in its diversity of approach and reliance upon each artist's experience in the world rather than stereotyping, challenges all of the labeling that comes before it, leading us from unreal to real and giving us something to think (and talk) about along the way." - Lisa Jaye Young.
