For those of you in the New York City area, there is a neat art exhibition dedicated to women photographers from around the world.
The exhibition is sponsored by Nymphoto, a collective of women in photography. The goal of the group shows is to encourage connections and an exchange of ideas among female photographers.
The exhibition, Nymphoto: Conversations Volume 1, is an accompaniment to the just released book with the same title. The book is a collection of interviews (initially published as blog entries) with women photographers in varying stages of their careers.
The exhibition includes work by Michele Abeles, Juliana Beasley, Rona Chang, Nina Büsing Corvallo, Candace Gottschalk, Jessica M. Kaufman, Klea McKenna, Michal Chelbin, Talia Greene, Maria Passarotti, Susana Raab, Emily Shur, Tema Stauffer, Jane Tam, Garie Waltzer and Jennifer Williams.
The reception for this exhibition will be on Wednesday, May 6th from 6:00 to 8:00 PM
The second exhibition, Nymphoto Presents at Sasha Wolf, is a collection of work by contemporary women photographers from across the globe. Diverse in content, these works convey the complexity of the female gaze.
This exhibition includes work by Katrina d’Autremont, Jennifer Boomer, Malou van Breenvoort, Rona Chang, Nina Büsing Corvallo, Livia Corona, Jen Davis, Lizzie Gorfaine, Candace Gottschalk, Victoria Hely-Hutchinson, Megan Maloy, Tiana Markova-Gold, Debora Mittelstaedt, Maria Passarotti, Alex Prager, Beatrix Reinhardt, Anna Skladmann, Jane Tam, Corinne Vionnet, Sophia Wallace and Susan Worsham.
The reception for this exhibition will be on Thursday, May 28th from 6:00 to 8:00 PM

Another recent showing of women’s art, this one focused on videos, received a NYTimes review that began thusly:
Q. What is feminist video?
A. A good way to reduce overcrowding in museums.
Really? Beginning a review of women’s work with a swipe against women that bears no relevance to the content or quality of the work?
I’m not very educated about art, but for those out there who are, do female artists still have a hard time getting their work taken seriously?
