June 26 Rochester Contemporary Bookfair ALL-DAY BOOKFAIR at Barnes & Noble to Benefit the Rochester Contemporary Thursday June 26, 2003 Barnes & Noble Booksellers 3349 Monroe Avenue The Rochester Contemporary (RoCo) is pleased to announce that Sarah E. Webb, co-editor and RoCo member, will speak about and sign her new book "Singular Women: Writing the Artist" at 7pm on Thursday June 26th. In this groundbreaking volume, contemporary art historians--all of them women--probe the dilemmas and complexities of writing about the woman artist, past and present. Singular Women proposes a new feminist investigation of the history of art by considering how a historian's theoretical approach affects the way in which research progresses and stories are told. These thirteen essays on specific artists, from the Renaissance to the present day, address their work and history to examine how each has been inserted into or left out of the history of art. The authors (Mary Garrard Frima Fox Hofrichter, Mary Sheriff, Carol Mavor, Gladys-Marie Fry, Anne Higonnet, Barbara J. Bloemink, Gail Levin, Nancy Gruskin, Melanie Herzog, Karen Bearor, Amy Ingrid Schlegel and Kristine Stiles) go beyond an analysis of the past to propose new strategies for considering the contributions of women to the visual arts, strategies that take into account the idiosyncratic, personal, and limited rhetoric that confines all writers. Rochester-native Sarah Webb is an internationally exhibiting artist working in installation and performance-based media. Her process-based work incorporates ephemeral traces of domesticity with feminist art practice. In addition to lecturing and teaching workshops, Webb is Visiting Assistant Professor at the Univ. of Rochester, Dept. of Art and Art History. Webb earned her MFA from Visual Studies Workshop. A Barnes & Noble Voucher Bookfair is an opportunity for an established non-profit partner to raise money through in-store booksales by encouraging their constituencies to shop at Barnes & Noble during a designated time.

"The most provocative, challenging, and intimate writing to appear in feminist art history since Linda Nochlin launched the field with her essay "Why Are There No Great Women Artists?" Thirty years later there are both great women artists and great women writers. This book assembles some of the best and boldest among them. Not afraid to address the boring, the failed, the neglected, or the masterpiece, Singular Women sets the standard for feminist art history of the twenty-first century."--Peggy Phelan, author of the survey essay in Art and Feminism, ed.
