Artist: Justine Kurland: SCUMB Flowers
Dashwood Projects presents SCUMB Flowers, an exhibition of collages by Justine Kurland from her ongoing series SCUMB Manifesto. Inspired by the radical feminist and writer Valerie Solanas’ SCUM Manifesto, Society for Cutting Up Men. Creating her own SCUMB Manifesto, SCUMB stands for Society for Cutting Up Men’s Books. To create this new work, SCUMB Flowers, Kurland excised every flower from the pages of William Eggleston’s ten-volume set, The Democratic Forest. Freed from his compositions, the blooms dangle from webbed vines, delicate and lacy. SCUMB Flowers locates the latent feminine in the work of one of the most resourced and collected American photographers. (from Dashwood Projects)
