Martha Rosler reads Vogue, 2010

The exhibition took issue with notions of gender equality and posited post-feminism as antifeminism. The exhibition examined the ideologies of the women’s magazine where old forms of oppression are returned through the discourse of the free market and consumer culture, where the ‘perfect’ is a horizon of aspiration, self-regulation and competition. Critical strategies such as mimicry, double-speak and distanciation were employed performatively to deconstruct and undermine the false consciousness of the post-feminist consumer.
An artists talk took place in the gallery on 20/3/10
