Apstrakt:
U radu će biti analizirana dela umetnice DŽudi Čikago (Judy Chicago) koja se baziraju na tekstilu i vezu. U fokusu će biti dva rada, Međunarodni prekrivač časti (International Honor Quilt) i Večera (The Dinner Party), ali i umetničino nedavno korišćenje tkanine u komercijalne svrhe tokom saradnje sa modnom kućom Dior (Dior). U Večeri, jednom od najpoznatijih dela američke feminističke umetnosti, Čikago koristi vez i tkaninu kako bi ukazala na značaj različitih žena iz mitologije, istorije ili istorije umetnosti. Vodeći se seminalnim istraživanjima Grizelde Polok (Griselda Pollock) i Rozike Parker (Rozsika Parker) o hijerarhiji u umetnosti i pozicioniranju veza kao inferiorne umetnosti zbog dodira sa idejama o ženskoj i kućnoj umetnosti, koja istorijski ne pripada domenu visoke već primenjene umetnosti i zanatstva, u radu će biti istražen način na koji Čikago koristi vez kao sredstvo iskazivanja različitih aktivističkih, političkih i umetničkih poruka.

Summary:
Judy Chicago is a famous feminist artist from the United States of America. Chicago has frequently used artistic media that have historically been categorized as that of a lesser value compared to the works belonging to the category called fine arts. Two feminist authors, Griselda Pollock and Rozsika Parker, exposed the existing hierarchy of arts in art history in their seminal book Old Mistresses: Women, Art, and Ideology. The two authors wrote about the ways in which embroidery, quilts, and needlework have often been regarded as works belonging to the domain of crafts or applied arts because of their connections to the spheres of the home and their authors, who were in most cases, women. Feminist artists have used textile in their pieces in different subversive ways in order to show their political message, while using artistic disciplines that have often been left unacknowledged in art history. This paper looks at the ways in which Chicago used needlework in her works The Dinner Party and International Honor Quilt. It also looks at a piece called The Feminine Divine which was commissioned by Dior and based on Chicago’s previous pieces and feminist activism.
