Abstract
The following is a book review of Institutional Time: A Critique of Studio Art Education by Judy Chicago.
Highlights
As a celebrated artist central to the feminist art movement, Judy Chicago has spent her career challenging a male-dominated art world, creating large-scale collaborative projects, paintings, sculpture and performance art exploring the unique experience of women
Institutional Time: A Critique of Studio Art Education, she reflects candidly on her teaching experience, weaving together an autobiographical account that details the development of several studio art programs for women and the evolution of a pedagogical approach linked closely to the tenets of democratic and studentcentered learning
Issues of class are not theorized in relationship to the feminist histories and aesthetic approaches explored. Chicago instead uses her own personal narrative and some historical research to highlight the possibilities of feminist art pedagogy, and the challenges female students still face in many university settings
