Kathryn Markel Fine Arts is pleased to present My Generation, Joanne Freeman's second solo show with the gallery. Joanne Freeman has been feeling nostalgic. Noticing the parallels between the current political climate and the nature of the 1960s and '70s when she grew up, she has been interrogating the aesthetics and societal attitudes of that era in her latest work. When protest and rebellion dominated the culture and traditional institutions were under attack, music and art signaled your identity more than ever before. However, as Freeman began her education, the notions of important art were limited to the male and Western perspectives. As her own artistic identity formed, it developed as a reaction against that lineage. Female attributes and aesthetics became a choice, rather than a burden.
