Art Theory - S2 Week 7 - 19/08/2019
1. Research question
How can I challenge the Socio-political roles of the women by analyzing and critiquing the female and male gaze?
2. Iusses of art making and art viewing
art viewing, is who is the viewing for? Male or female?and how does one distinguish the viewing?
Art making, does the artist gender/sex affect the gaze and what gaze is it?
3. culture, geographical and social context
Culture wise, all women have different rights in different cultures and have different society role views for women. Which can affect the way the male gaze and female gaze is viewed.
For myself it is in New Zealand, I am an millennial which also changes the context as well.
4. Body of work responding to 1-3
5. Theoretical text and Artist Models.

Who is doing what I Do?
Obviously my artist models are doing the same thing that I am doing, a lot of feminist women artist do what I do. Questioning whats it means to be a women and testing the line between the gazes, and social roles between the two sex's.
Who influenced me?
Jacqueline Fahey's painting Final domestic expose – I paint myself, inspired and influenced me to explore the ideas of social- political roles of a women. It made me curious to find the inner meaning to what it meant to be a women for myself and the history of women's right's within history, though some countries still don't have women's rights. I also wanted to explore the ideologies of beauty in a women's view and in a male view through the gazes.
"In the early 1980s there was an outpouring of feminist art by New Zealand women painters. As in this work by Jacqueline Fahey, much of women's art explored women's unique experience and was highly self-reflective. Here Fahey plays on the double meaning of 'painting myself' – both with the lipstick in hand at the centre of the work and also through the paint brush." (Phillips 2014)
Where is my work places upon in the contemporary art world?
To me my work is not placed with in the feminist work, even though it is a reaction to the social-political roles of being a women and the beauty expectations on women. As I don't consider myself a feminist nor do I consider my body of work a feminist political action.Though I do see my works fitting into that contemporary art scene.
