Adrian Piper: Race, Gender, and Embodiment
English
By (author): John P. Bowles
Over the course of a decade, John P. Bowles and Piper conversed about her art and its meaning, reception, and relation to her scholarship on Kants philosophy. Drawing on those conversations, Bowles locates Pipers work at the nexus of Conceptual and feminist art of the late 1960s and 1970s. Piper was the only African American woman associated with the Conceptual artists of the 1960s and one of only a few African Americans to participate in exhibitions of the nascent feminist art movement in the early 1970s. Bowles contends that Pipers work is ultimately about our responsibility for the world in which we live.
