work: Graphics: MFA Boston - Woman Take the Floor Exhibition

Women Take the Floor challenged the dominant, male-centric lens through which 20th-century American Art has traditionally been presented by highlighting the work of overlooked and underrepresented women artists. The exhibition design sought to redefine the traditional art historical notion of the male-gaze by literally and metaphorically establishing a new framework for looking at art. Using red quote boxes as a graphic and red architectural frames for walls and doorways allowed audiences to experience a visual and physical shift of the ‘white cube,’ sensitively bringing historic and contemporary works into dialogue
