#44 Artist, Nancy Buchanan

A key figure in the performance art scene and of the feminist art movement that emerged in Southern California during the 1970s, Buchanan's work has often positioned the audience as participants in a wider conversation on the gendered and defamilarized body, the dangers  of commercialized voyeurism and the dire consequences of an increasing militarization in our society. Her work is included in the collections of major museums here in the US and abroad, including MOMA and the Centre Pompidou among many others.
