The Feminist Aesthetics of A Room of Her Own

Christine Han, Ocula , February 23, 2022


Across this show, 'feminist art' is neither a style or a movement, but a constellation of aesthetics and individual expressions.





What constitutes a feminist aesthetic? At 
A Room of Her Own at Sundaram Tagore Gallery in Singapore (14 January–19 March 2022), eight artists unpack a fragmented and complex subject.

Among the works are feminist interventions in art history that involve the production of a critical position for looking at, analysing, and excavating art and its multiple registers.

Across this show, the concept of 'feminist art' is neither a style or a movement, but a constellation of aesthetics and individual expressions.

Japanese-American artist Miya Ando's moon drawings on Japanese Kozo paper are based on the artist's observations of the night sky and employ precise balances of different shapes of the moon and colours to tell spatial stories. 2 Full Moon (Jugoya) August 3 2020 (2020), for instance, suggests that the moon is actually in the process of falling, or rising.
