Artist Conversation #5

Micol Hebron

Micol Hebron introduces herself as an interdisciplinary artist, consisting of works in studios, crowd-surfing, writing, teaching and individual or collaborative projects. Hebrons birth of artistic projects started year 1992 in Los Angeles, California. Since then, she founded conventions to portray her creativity; The Situation Room; The Tally Poster Project; The Digital/Pasty Gender Equity; LA Art Girls; and Co-found Fontbron Academy. Hebron has also served advisory boards and curated in the past, within multiple museums, universities and institutions. Her goal throughout this art is to support and further feminist dialogues within art and reality.

Most of Hebrons work can be seen throughout social media, video, digital media and other internet platforms. Hebron wants her art to question and explore themes, such as gender equality, freedom of speech, contemporary feminism, data visualizations and relationships between body, mind and knowledge. Her artwork also seeks alternative histories and futures for female artists. How her art can be portrayed is through physicality, as she describes as past and current artworks to be part of her or other peoples bodies, in attempt to construct identity through roles and images of the female body in the wake of second wave feminism

I couldn’t find any similarities within her work and myself, given most of it is in support of feminism. This is respected, as women should have equal rights as men, such as enforcement support, politically, sports wise, etc. An example of her feministic support can be demonstrated through a popular controversy, abortion, given how it is the right of a women to do what she wants with her body, and opposition to that right consists more of men, who couldn’t understand the process of pregnancy.
