I think the end piece was quite beautiful. I am not really sure how I feel about feminism constantly being associated with vaginas though. I dunno it seems base in a certain way-if men were oppresed I probbably wouldnt advice them to constantly draw boners. Meh.
Anyway, I heard from a another teacher that she didnt credit all the women who helped work on the dinner party which is maybe questionable. I also didn't really like that she had 13 place settings on each side or I wish that was explained further----I mean tradionally thats thought of as unlucky and suggestive that one of the people at the table is a traitor. So the thirteen settings seems to imply that somehow women have been unsucessful because of decepton among them- mayeb that is what she was gong for but I kind of doubt it.
The other thing that I wanted to mention is that the I think one of the dumb things about women just accepting that art needs a concept behind it to be real art is something that keeps traditional womens arts firmly in the area known as crafts and out of the canon of art history. Many women only had the opportunity to create objects that had a second purpose other than solely as a work of art-bleh. I am having a hard time articulating this.
