RONA PONDICK Featured in “Anonymous Was A Woman: The First 25 Years”
Opening April 1 at NYU’s Grey Art Museum, “Anonymous Was A Woman: The First 25 Years,” celebrates recipients of the titular grant supporting mid-career women artists in the United States.
Reflecting on a quarter century of artistic achievement tied to the the Anonymous Was A Woman (AWAW) award program, the exhibition showcases works by past awardees (1996–2020) and traces the development of contemporary art practice over the last twenty-five years, addressing issues of identity and community; the position of women artists in society; the shifting value of craft; the changing possibilities for installation and time-based media; as well as the many uses of anonymity.
Six years in the making, “Anonymous Was A Woman” is organized by the Grey Art Museum at NYU and guest curated by Nancy Princenthal and Vesela Sretenović.
