The Weisman Art Museum is proud to present Harriet Bart's first retrospective, Abracadabra and Other Forms of Protection. Over her more than four-decade career, Bart has commemorated the lives of the forgotten—from the victims of the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire to American troops killed in Afghanistan. She has drawn inspiration from wide-ranging sources, and has sought imaginative ways to represent the self—from classifying her life in five garments to containing it in seventy test tubes. Curated by Laura Wertheim Joseph, PhD, the project celebrates Bart’s early role in the breakthrough of American feminist art from the 1970s to today. Read more about the exhibition here >>
