Still Dangerous!

Harmony Hammond, a leading figure in New York's feminist and lesbian art movements, is primarily known for her abstract painting and sculpture. As a cofounder of A.I.R., the first major women's cooperative art gallery, and Heresies, a groundbreaking feminist journal, Hammond played a critical role in the emergence of lesbian and feminist art through her curation and writing. Still Dangerous!, with an introduction by the volume editor Tirza True Latimer and a foreword by Julia Bryan-Wilson, brings together five decades of Hammond's writings addressing the historical invisibility of women and lesbian artists, the politics of gender and sexuality in contemporary creative practice, materiality, feminism's expanding purview, resisting censorship, and strategies of feminist and queer abstraction. Compiling essays, reviews, artist's statements, presentations, letters, and interviews, Still Dangerous! fleshes out Hammond's career while providing a valuable resource for scholars and students of contemporary culture.
