DOUILLARD, Carole
Body Talks – Interview

A history of feminist gesture and performance since the 1960s and 1970s in California through an interview conducted by Carole Douillard with art critic Amelia Jones and two pioneering American artists, Barbara T. Smith and Susan Lacy.

"The two people who, with the participation of Amelia Jones, are interviewed in this talk are constitutive figures of a little-known art history that emerged in Los Angeles in the early sixties. It is in relation to a work of archeology in the archives of the actions produced by women, on the margins of the institutions that favored only men at that time, that I had the desire for this open and warm discussion, at the home of Barbara T. Smith, in Pasadena, East of Los Angeles. A counter-narrative to the more recognized and known figures at the time that were Chris Burden, Paul McCarthy and Allan Kaprow, close friends of these two tutelary artists. Through this discussion initiated in 2019, a companionship between artists of different generations is established and a line of driven women unfolds, each of whom are putting their bodies on the line."
