Artforum Magazine cover

Artist Lynda Benglis shook the art world when she made the November 1974 Artforum magazine into an art piece of her own. A sculptor and mixed media artist interested in the human form, sexuality, and gender dynamics, Benglis published an advertisement with an image so taboo five editors of the magazine resigned. Join us to view the museum’s newly acquired copy of the magazine and a panel moderated by Theresa Marie Ketterer, curator for the exhibition Voices: Women Artists in the Era of Second Wave Feminism. The panel will discuss the work in terms of Feminism, society, art, sexuality, and museum, etc.

Panelists:

  • Christie Launius, K-State associate head and associate professor in Social Transformation Studies
  • Hunter Scott, K-State graduate student in the English Department with a focus in cultural studies and gender, women, and sexuality studies
  • Jeanne Vaccaro, KU associate professor in Museum Studies and Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies.

This event is part of the Beach Museum of Art’s “Art in Motion” annual program series.
