Published by Baron, Pinar Yolaçan’s new book explores the female body through the lens of art history, considering the limits of these representations while offering alternative ways of seeing
The Venus of Willendorf, a pre-Neolithic statue of a fertility goddess is invoked in Yolaçan’s work, continuing a long conversation with the figure in feminist art – Yolaçan namechecks artists Mary Beth Edelson and Judy Chicago. By re-framing these images from antiquity in the contemporary bodies of real women, Yolaçan challenges the ways in which we perceive not only art history but contemporary art and the role the body plays within it.
” Yolaçan wonders if this new way of looking at the work – and at these bodies – is “perhaps to monumentalise female farmer’s bodies which are historically other-ed and abject-ified. It’s radical and needed at this time.”� For Yolaçan, the Mother Goddess series has always felt like a reflection of home, of embracing bodies that were not the Western norm.
