Together apart
During the tour of the exhibition, the classes discover how, in the 1970s, different styles, themes and media co-existed and inspired one another. They examine works of Pop Art and discuss what might be the intention behind playing with clichés. A key focus is on collective forms of collaboration, jointly created works, friendships between female artists and networks. What advantages or challenges might artistic collaboration present? Questions are discussed and the class exchanges views on which themes are illustrated in the various works and spaces. The analysis of the works is supplemented with background information on the artists and their working methods.
