Multiplex: Directions in Art, 1970 to Now
November 21, 2007–July 28, 2008
Spero has long been involved with art that engages the subject of injustice. In the 1970s, upon becoming active in the feminist movement, she began a sustained exploration of the place of women in history. This scroll–like work presents a kind of narrative, yet its structure acknowledges the fragmented nature of the historical record as her texts and imagery travel between epochs and continents, presenting a testimony that mutates across time and place.
