Joyce Kozloff: Contested Territories, 1983-2023

I first learned of Joyce Kozloff’s diverse artistic practice and alignment with feminist art during the late 1990s, and her work continues to inspire a contemporary generation today. Joyce Kozloff: Contested Territories, 1983-2023 at the Everson Museum of Art reflects her tenacious spirit and politically charged art. The centerpiece of this show is her “Targets” (2000) sculpture, a walk-in globe with aerial maps of locations bombed by the US military between 1945 and 2000 painted on the inside. “Jeez” (2012) includes countless cultural images of Jesus from all parts of the world, while “If I Were a Botanist (Gaza)” (2015), a bright mixed-media work with glorious star-like patterns alongside a map of the Gaza Strip, highlights life’s persistence amid devastation.
