9:30 A.M.-5:30 P.M. both days

The Museum of Modern Art

This symposium addresses critical questions surrounding the relationship
between art and gender, bringing together international leaders in
contemporary art, art history, and related disciplines. After the activism
of the 1960s and '70s, and the revisionist critiques of the 1980s and '90s,
this symposium examines ways in which gender is currently addressed by
artists, museums and the academy, and its future role in art practice and
scholarship.
