These Critics Don’t Write Enough About Women Artists 1985

Editor: Here we have a work by the Guerrilla Girls, it's a text-based print called "These Critics Don't Write Enough About Women Artists." The directness is startling. What strikes you about it? Curator: It hits you hard, right? The Guerrilla Girls are masters of taking facts and figures and turning them into a visual punch in the gut. It's about pointing fingers, yeah, but also about sparking change. Seeing those names listed...it's a powerful statement. What do you think about that list? Editor: It feels…confrontational. Like they’re daring these critics to do better. Curator: Exactly! And the humor? The gorilla masks? They’re disarming, even while they’re delivering a serious critique. It's art as activism, babe. Editor: So it's not just about calling people out but inspiring change, using humor to soften the blow and get people to listen? Curator: Precisely. Art with a roar, a wink, and a banana peel.
