Description:
The Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech presents Opening Art Reception for "Fierce Women" on Thursday, January 30, 2020 inside the Grand Lobby.

Join us to celebrate the opening of "Fierce Women". A range of formidable and thought-provoking works give voice to critical issues in “Fierce Women,” a suite of exhibitions by women artists presented by the Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech. Spanning the latter part of the 20th century to the present, the work presented includes sculpture, prints, painting on paper, digital prints, and video, and is on view in all the center’s galleries.

Beginning with the historical precedent of the Guerrilla Girls, the exhibition continues with works by Jenny Holzer, then proceeds up to the present with a large-scale video installation by Marilyn Minter. Ranging from Holzer’s iconic LED signs to Chakaia Booker’s brazen rubber tire compositions and Rozeal’s cross-cultural mashups, these artists take on gender and racial inequality and the politics of identity, and address some of the many injustices surrounding power, morality, and corruption in the world.

Remarks begin at 6:00 pm.

Free refreshments will be provided.

Admission is free.
