Until 22 November, at our Venice gallery is on view 'The Materiality of Judy Chicago', a solo show by American artist Judy Chicago, a pioneering figure for feminist art and feminist art education since the 1970s.

Throughout her career, Judy Chicago has consistently valued, elevated, and employed materials and techniques traditionally associated with 'craft'. A significant example is her 1980s series the 'Birth Project', a body of work comprising more than eighty artworks. Primarily executed in textile, the series uses embroidery, quilting, and other needlework techniques as forms of artistic and political resistance. Its central focus is the reproductive power of the female body and the often invisible labor surrounding pregnancy and childbirth.
