The Exhibition and Symposium explore vital aspects of Mendieta’s iconoclastic earth, body, performance, site-specific and visual art works, while addressing her influences, legacy, and the era of feminist art from which she emerged. The Symposium: Thursday, October 7, 2010 at 7pm The Department of Performance Studies Symposium Panelists: The Exhibition: August 1 – October 8, 2010 The exhibition includes Mendieta’s works with archival documents from the A.I.R.

The Fales Library and Special Collections * The Women’s Action Coalition mobilized approximately 500 protestors outside the Guggenheim Museum in Soho on its opening day in 1992, where Carl Andre’s works were on display. A group held a banner that read, “Carl Andre is in the Guggenheim. Where is Ana Mendieta?” In addition to this action outside, some protestors infiltrated the invitation-only Gala opening and dropped copies of a photograph of Mendieta's face onto Andre's floor sculptures.
