Beginning with its title, She Said, She Said: Contemporary Women Artists presents a positive and energetic opportunity to assess the many valuable contributions that women have made to contemporary art. The exhibition’s name is a play on the conventional expression “he said, she said,” which suggests that when a man and a woman disagree, one can only give up on coming to a settled conclusion. The familiar phrase suggests stasis—an inability to move forward on matters ranging from sexual violence to equal pay and political representation, despite the forceful accounts and opinions that women put forward. Alternatively, She Said, She Said emphasizes the undeniable power inherent in women’s voices. The exhibition offers a rich exploration of the multifaceted nature of being a woman, and a woman artist, by celebrating artists of different generations, cultures, and disciplines. As demonstrated in these galleries, one singular female perspective does not exist. Rather, there are numerous and diverse perspectives and methods of creation by which women assert their place, not only in the world of art and museums, but in society at large.
