OUR CITY DREAMS




Stumbled upon this documentary on my Netflix recommendations -- it captures the lives of five female artists (Swoon, Ghada Amer, Kiki Smith, Marina Abramovic, and Nancy Spero) who live and create art in NYC. So inspiring! The portion on Nancy Spero, rest in peace, was particularly beautiful and brought me to tears.

Swoon presenting her work at MoMA (Part 1 of 2)
(Part 2 of 2 here.)

 Ghada Amer, The Dance, 2004; 
acrylic, gel medium and embroidery on canvas.

Marina Abramovic, Rest Energy with Ulay, 1980;
Performance.
Kiki Smith, Sirens, 2007;
set of six cast bronze sculptures with black patina.

Nancy Spero, The Bomb, 1968;
gouache and ink on paper.
