Historical Note
The Feminist Art Workers were a collaborative feminist performance group created in 1976 by Candace Compton, Laurel Klick,
Nancy Angelo, and Cheri Gaulke. The group formed after teaching together for the Summer Art Program at the Woman's Building
in Los Angeles. Compton left the group shortly after its inception and Vanalyne Green joined in 1978. The Feminist Art Workers
were recognized for their combination of performance art and feminist pedagogy and their emphasis on making art in a non-hierarchical
collaborative way. The group's main period of activity was from 1977 to 1981, although they also had multiple retrospective
projects from 2008 to 2012.
Notable performances include
Heaven or Hell? (1977), first performed at the Chicago lesbian restaurant Mama Peaches, in which forks were attached to four-foot-long poles
and used as banquet props for guests to try to feed themselves (Hell) or work together to feed each other (Heaven);
This Ain't No Heavy Breathing (1978), in which the artists chose random numbers from the phone book and called women to wish them a good day; and
Bills of Rights (1980), in which the artists distributed "dollar bills" printed with information about the salary gap between men and women
and urged recipients to support the Equal Rights Amendment. In later years, the Feminist Art Workers produced a documentary
video for the
Making It Together exhibition at the Bronx Museum of the Arts (2008), created retrospective installations for the Trajector Art Fair in Brussels
(2011) and for the
Doin' It in Public exhibition at the Otis College of Art and Design (2011-2012), and also performed
Heaven or Hell? as part of the latter exhibition.

Physical Description:

(25 boxes, 2 boxed-rolls, 5 flatfile folders. Computer media: 17.67 GB [617 files])
Scope and Contents
Series I documents performances and exhibitions by the Feminist Art Workers during their main period of activity from 1977
to 1981, and also contains materials from later projects such as the documentary produced for the Bronx Museum of the Arts
in 2008 and their installation at the Otis College of Art and Design in 2011. Dates in parentheses indicate performance or
exhibition dates, if these differ from the dates on the items. Most projects include photographic materials (slides, black-and-white
and color photographs and negatives, and contact sheets), planning documents such as scripts and schedules, and press clippings
and articles. Some projects contain objects used in performances, materials for installations, audiovisual materials, or ephemera
such as postcards. The series also includes born digital material on six DVDs containing image files used for the book
Feminist Art Workers: A History (2012); the 2008
Feminist Art Workers: Heaven or Hell? documentary video; and
The Icon, an unknown work for an event at the Otis College of Art and Design in 2011. Software formats were identified using a DROID
(Digital Record Object IDentification) report from information recorded in the PRONOM technical registry. All dates refer
to last modified dates of files. Scope notes for individual projects were provided by Cheri Gaulke.
Arrangement
The series is arranged in chronological order by project date. Born digital materials are integrated into the series based
on content. The original order of the born digital files is retained.
