Oppression and Pleasure
Opening Reception: Friday, April 17, 6-9pm

Hatry Studio shows an exhibition of selected works by Kate Millett, including drawings, prints, photographs and sculptures. Although Millett is best known as a pioneer of the modern feminist movement, author of the groundbreaking classic, Sexual Politics, she has lived and practiced as an artist throughout her life and has been the subject of a number of shows in both museums and private galleries. Like her nuanced, articulate, diverse and provocative writings, Millet’s visual art spans a broad range of interests, media, styles and tones, from elegant minimalist nudes to thoughtful fluxoid constructions and neo-dada whimsy to austere, impersonal and often quite large-scale constructions, in which her insight into the politics of the human condition and the inhumanity of politics are ever in evidence. Millett’s artistic vision is as distinctive and humane as her literary voice, ranging over betrayal, loss, injustice and even murder without abandoning love, honor, hope and joy.

Copies of a number of Ms. Millett’s books will be available for purchase, which the author will be happy to sign.
The exhibit will be also be open from April 17 - 28, 2009 by appointment at 1-917-821-4617.
