Ana Mendieta, A Cubanborn Artist Who Lived In Exile In The United States, Was One Of The Most Provocative And Complex Personalities Of The 1970S Artworld. In Where Is Ana Mendieta? Art Historian Jane Blocker Provides An Indepth Critical Analysis Of Mendietas Diverse Body Of Work. Although Her Untimely Death In 1985 Remains Shrouded In Controversy, Her Life And Artistic Legacy Provide A Unique Vantage Point From Which To Consider The History Of Performance Art, Installation, And Earth Works, As Well As Feminism, Multiculturalism, And Postmodernism.Taken From Banners Carried In A 1992 Protest Outside The Guggenheim Museum In New York, The Title Phrase Where Is Ana Mendieta? Evokes Not Only The Suspicious And Tragic Circumstances Surrounding Her Death But Also The Conspicuous Absence Of Women Artists From Highprofile Exhibitions. Drawing On The Work Of Such Theorists As Judith Butler, Joseph Roach, Edward Said, And Homi Bhabha, Blocker Discusses The Power Of Mendietas Earthandbody Art To Alter, Unsettle, And Broaden The Terms Of Identity Itself. She Shows How Mendieta Used Exile As A Discursive Position From Which To Disrupt Dominant Categories, Analyzing As Well Mendietas Use Of Mythology And Anthropology, The Ephemeral Nature Of Her Media, And The Debates Over Her Ethnic, Gender, And National Identities.As The First Major Critical Examination Of This Enigmatic Artists Work, Where Is Ana Mendieta? Will Interest A Broad Audience, Particularly Those Involved With The Production, Criticism, Theory, And History Of Contemporary Art.
