Double X (feminist art collective)
From 1975 and 1985 Double X was active as an artist collective, their aim was to expand the visibility of art made by women.
The work shown by Double X was not only the work by their members but also by other women, established as well as emerging. One can find many perspectives which are now considered to be the foundation of the feminist art movement within Double X's founding statement.
“We are committed to expanding the notion of what is considered art....We recognize a pluralistic art that is both stylistically diverse and expressive of a variety of points of view in a framework such that although different modes may conflict with one another, they do not negate one another.”
However Double X has been left out of many history books while their legacy is 'incontournable'.
Double X comprised members such as: Faith Wilding, Audrey Chan, Barbara McCullough, Micol Hebron, Nancy Youdelman, Merion Estes, Connie Jenkins, Carol Kaufman, Rachel Rosenthal, Nancy Buchanan, Jan Lester Martin, Nancy Webber, Marsia Alexander-Clarke, Vanalyne Green, Diane Calder, Mayde Herberg, Judith Simonian, Rachel Youdelman, Vaughan Rachel.
