History Is Ours

This is the catalog of a joint exhibition by the two New York artists Andrea Geyer and Sharon Hayes. It also features dialogues with a number of central artists in the field of feminist enquiry.

Andrea Geyer was the prime discovery at documenta XII. In quietly revealing works made up of both image and text, photographs are combined with historical data, news, and fictional travel reports.

Sharon Hayes explores social realities by searching for historical parallels. She always chooses themes that have inscribed themselves in US history, with traumatic consequences. Hayes is included in the Whitney Biennial 2010.
