Ich häng nackt im Museum. Und das ist ziemlich politisch.

Do women have to be naked to get into the Met Museum? fragten die Guerrilla Girls 1989.
Und ja – vermutlich gibt es auch im Wien Museum mehr nackte Frauenkörper als repräsentierte Künstlerinnen. Aber: Der weibliche Körper kann auch ein Werkzeug des Widerstands sein.

This evening at the Museum you can attend the free talk ‘Breaking Ground’ and Beyond: A Century of Women and Geology at OUMNH 1813-1914 -- 6PM

This talk will show that there’s another side to the history of science at OUMNH there hides a long tradition of women contributing to scientific research.

Like many contemporary American artists Amy Sherald perceives racial identity as a performance in response to external forces rather than an essential attribute. As one of just a few Black children in her private school in Georgia, she recalls being highly conscious of how she spoke and dressed, believing these behaviors were the key to social acceptance and assimilation. "They call me Redbone, but I’d rather be Strawberry Shortcake" alludes to racial labeling directly, as the slang term “redbone” typically refers to a Black woman with a light skin tone. Sherald modifies historical portrait formats to upend the dominant narrative of African American history. She notes: “I create playful yet sober portraits of Black Americans within an imaginative history where I do Black my way, in the European tradition of painted portraiture.” While historical portraitists aimed to reveal a sitter’s social standing or some essence of character, Sherald’s haunting figures are expressionless and dressed in unusual, costume-style clothing that she has collected. Typical of Sherald’s art, the young woman in "They call me Redbone, but I’d rather be Strawberry Shortcake" appears to float against an intensely colored background, which enhances the work’s dreamy quality. The artist achieves this effect by limiting her use shadow along the figure’s contours. Here as in other works, Sherald disrupts viewers’ readings of her portrait subjects as Black by painting their skin in grayscale, metaphorically removing their “color.”
