Kimberly Lamm recently edited a special issue of Public Art Dialogue titled "Outside Voices: Art, Visibility, and the Gender of Public Speech." In “Outside Voices,” Lamm gathers the work of artists and scholars who explore how language has been deployed as a visual material that speaks to the gendered inequities of the public sphere. The artists featured in “Outside Voices'—Sofia Sánchez, Mira Schor, and Eva Rosenfeld—contribute to a tradition in which artists aligned with 1970s feminism took up language-based representation and attest to its ongoing necessity. The scholars, in turn, reveal why language has, and continues to be, a site of contestation for visual artists and follows them into the disparate places—the bedroom, the garden, the museum, the fashion show, the border—where they stage that struggle.
