Jo Spence

Interesting to me for many reasons but perhaps most for her questioning of beauty standards while remaining an infinitely attractive person herself (see her face on cove of ‘Spare Rib’ magazine and the ensuing discussions. British feminist art, Mary Kelly etc. Kate Walker etc. Cosey Fanni Tutti. Helen Chadwick. Precursor. Peter Brandt loves her. Margaret Harrison. Theory and imagery were game changing. Great artist warrior. – SMW.

Carolee always told me to go to where the difficulty was, and somehow my face has always been a challenging situation.” – SMW. 30. April 2020 (inventory note): “I also think of Jo Spence, the British artist, being told she was ‘brave’ for using her own image when she was not classically beautiful. And Carolee Schneemann and Hannah Wilke subverting the ‘ideal image’. I feel somewhere in between as I swing between ‘more ideal’ and ‘less ideal’.” – SMW.
