(H)errata: Women, Art, and Revolution, a film-in-progress by Lynn Hershman Leeson, is followed by a panel with Faith Ringgold, Joan Semmel and Mimi Smith. Moderated by Ferris Olin. (H)errata: Women, Art, and Revolution is a montage of conversations with the artists who helped shape the feminist art movement. Hershman Leeson began the project 40 years ago and it has since become a visual memoir enriched by unprecedented access to artwork, films, archives, and ephemera. A distinguished filmmaker, Hershman Leeson has recently been awarded a Creative Capital grant to aide in the completion of the film.

Panel:

Lynn Hershman Leeson is an artist best known for her films, though she also works in photography and installation. She has made numerous features including Conceiving Ada (1997), Teknolust (2002), for which she won the Alfred P. Sloan Award, and, most recently, Strange Culture, which was screened at the Sundance Film Festival in 2007.

Faith Ringgold has been making art for over 35 years. Best known for her quilted works that combine painting, fabric, and storytelling, Ringgold is also a children's book author and illustrator, who has won numerous awards such as the Caldecott Honor, Coretta Scott King Award, and 2 National Endowment for the Arts Awards.

Joan Semmel was born and raised in New York City and attended the High School of Music and Arts where she developed her skills as a painter. Often painting the nude (and very often herself), Semmel depicts both the male and female body with innovative color and brushwork.

Mimi Smith learned to sew with her grandmother as a child and as a young art student began using textiles to create sculptures. Her materials - such as rubber, cloth, and plastic - and the frequent presence of clothing highlight her attraction to accessibility and her desire to redefine stereotypically female materials.

Ferris Olin is the co-director of the Rutgers Institute for Women and Art and the national coordinator of The Feminist Art Project along with Judith K. Brodsky.
