Nancy Spero: Menjadi Seniman | "Eksklusif" Art21

Episode #007: Photographs of Nancy Spero from the 1960s to 2000.

A pioneer of feminist art, Nancy Spero's work since the 1960s is an unapologetic statement against the pervasive abuse of power, Western privilege, and male dominance. Executed with a raw intensity on paper and in ephemeral installations, her work often draws its imagery and subject matter from current and historical events such as the torture of women in Nicaragua, the Holocaust, and the atrocities of the Vietnam War.

Nancy Spero Menjadi Seniman

Saya pikir keputusan menjadi seniman mulai tumbuh

karena saya selalu lebih senang menggambar di pinggir buku-buku pelajaran daripada..

daripada benar-benar mengerjakan tugas di kelas.

Saya tidak pernah tertarik mengerjakan hal lain

..Saya tidak suka sekolah di SMA,

Saya tidak suka sekolah di Perguruan Tinggi..,

tapi Saya CINTA sekolah seni.

Saat itulah saya memutuskan mau jadi seniman,

ya sudah saya maunya itu.

Tapi saya agak khawatir menjadi seniman

seperti apa ya..satu-satunya yang bisa saya kerjakan hanya menggambar dan melukis

dan saya maunya mengerjakan dua hal itu saja

meskipun begitu, anehnya, Saya merasa kegiatan saya tidak berguna untuk masyarakat.
