Exhibition Details

Spanning a crucial decade in Mayer’s career—from her early contributions to the conceptual art journal 0 to 9 (1967–79), the artist’s book Passages (1976), Surroundings (1977), an artist’s issue for the magazine ART-Rite, to In Time Order shown here in its entirety for the first time—the exhibition positions Mayer in the shifting discourses of Conceptual art and feminism in the 1970s–80s.

Additional Details

The works gathered show that language, writing, and images are central to what the writer and art critic Lucy Lippard called a “de-materialized art form” that operates outside mainstream institutions, making visible societal experiences of women.
