>This exhibition reconsiders the critical strategies of artists Lorna 
>Brown, Margot Leigh Butler, Allyson Clay, Laiwan, Jin-me Yoon, and the 
>collaborative groups Worksite and the Association for Noncommercial 
>Culture in relation to shifts in feminist theory and practice during the 
>1980s. The exhibition focuses on book works, journal interventions, 
>installations, and ephemera addressing the intersecting issues of gender, 
>identity, language and representation.
>
>Rejecting a notion of feminism as fixed, stable, and past, the title of 
>this exhibition refers instead to multiple, diverse, and continually 
>shifting investigations of differently gendered and racialized identities. 
>In the 1980s and 1990s, activist groups representing provisional 
>alignments of race, class, gender, and sexuality challenged the 
>exclusionary biases of institutions including feminism and the mainstream 
>art system. At the same time, a number of artists drew upon feminist, 
>psychoanalytic and post-colonial theory in order to critique the dominant 
>systems of representation involved in formulating and fixing identities.
>
>*The exhibition coincides with InFest: International Artist Run Culture, a 
>Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres event. It is the first in a 
>series of four exhibitions being curated this Spring by Master of Arts 
>candidates in the Critical Curatorial Studies Programme at the University 
>of British Columbia.
