Summary

"Covering artworks from 2002 to 2017, A Time of One's Own maps a revival of feminism in contemporary art that takes up the creative and political implications of disrupted temporalities to activate "a time of one's own." Catherine Grant shifts Virginia Woolf's spatial metaphor of a "room of one's own" into a temporal register in order to bring together different historical moments of feminist thinking. In doing so, Grant positions reenactments of past feminist projects not just as an art practice, but as a model for a queered feminist art history in which discussions of queer temporalities, feminist histories, and definitions of "the contemporary" and "contemporary art" are refined and politicized. Joining political theorizing and creative imagining from Bertolt Brecht, Walter Benjamin, and Virginia Woolf with theories of queer temporalities, feminist time and 'the contemporary' in art, this book narrates an intentionally incomplete feminist art history that joins real and imagined feminist communities across time and place"--
