Bitch Formalism is about playfully reexamining the gendered aspects of art (and life) by using stereotypically feminine forms (materials, concepts, and processes) to create new versions of old artworks, works that refer to gender bias in the art historical cannon, and works that play with what it is to be both masculine and feminine.
“Bitch Formalism could stand to hold you and in fact does but also defies, deflects, resists openly, awfully, cheerfully, any release but your laughter. Heuristic. The tension of a metronome… Is located in history, and posits everything equal at the level of species and variant at any degree of acculturation. Except for potential and its silencing, about which it is aggrieved and cannot avenge and so in this way works for the past.”
