The Mood Back Home, an Exhibition inspired by Womanhouse

The idea for the exhibition “The Mood Back Home” developed from discussions between two artists/mothers, Leslie Brack and Suzy Spence, about the landmark project “WOMANHOUSE,” created in 1972 by a group of CalArts students and their professors Judy Chicago and Miriam Shapiro.

Like “WOMANHOUSE,” the exhibition “The Mood Back Home” addressed the stubborn nature of gender-prescribed domesticity and its effect on women artists.  The exhibition highlighted Johanna Demetrekas’ documentary film, “Womanhouse,” in the gallery, but focused on work of a new generation of women, the ostensible inheritors of 70s era feminism. As a permanent tribute to WOMANHOUSE and to give it a much-needed internet “home,” the curators built a website archive.
