“Ladylike: A Proper Take on Feminist Art”
KOSCIELAK GALLERY
1646 N. Bosworth Ave.
June 13–July 31, 2008
Jessica Hannah, Showroom No. 6 (Robot Lady Talking on Phone), 2008. Performance view.

Despite this limited scope, artworks that explore feminist identities via Second Life avatars, 1950s-era gender norms, and old-world folklore stand out.
