Mother/mother-* is an exhibition of work made by artists within the years immediately following a pregnancy or the birth of a child. The exhibition includes drawings, paintings, narrative and non-narrative film and video, sculpture, an artist’s book, an audio selection, and one piece of embroidery. The artists live and work in the U.S., Canada, Scotland, England, and Spain. For the purpose of the exhibition, the title Mother/mother- * also refers to father artists. “Mother” is the term that elicits the great frisson when uttered within the larger art culture.
