Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party

[@Bringthewinter]

Truly beautiful. To think, I would have gone throughout my entire life without knowing anything at all about this very important art installation and its history. Thank you for the detailed video!

[@kitrichardson5573]

this work of art was born from Judy Chicago being at an actual dinner party filled with professors whom she claimed were not as talented as the women present but yet they dominated the conversation. most professors are pompous, and if she traveled in this milieu, it’s easy to see the tendency towards victimhood. but the strong position, the powerful position is one of struggle, annunciation, and celebration. to the extent that this work of art proclaims amazing women throughout history, we join her in the celebration. it certainly creates a striking effect and triumphs as art.

I remember seeing this in SF; so taken with how much of women ‘s history has not been told ( comment by Wendy Dutton , Kim’s wife ) Thank you for this great video

Thank you so much for this video and the narration. I see Judy Chicago will be at the Museum in Sept 2021 and I am definitely going to purchase a ticket to hear her and to see this permanent display. Your descriptions were wonderful. I decided to add to my comment now that I have read all the other comments. I find it sad that instead of celebrating the beauty of the artwork, the willingness of Kristy Gordon to take the time to share her video, and her understanding of this magnificent piece, that others find fault, have a criticism, and appear to want to be shame-based in their comments. These acts are what oppression looks like. It is the antithesis of what I believe Judy Chicago was working towards communicting. I am excited that Judy Chicago will be at the Brooklyn Museum in Sept 2021. I for one will be there celebrating women's beauty and strengths.

Reading (and loving) The Flowering right now. It's stunning reading Judy Chicago's account of the making of The Dinner Party. A breathtaking work, truly. Itself a jumping off point for a lifetime (and more) of learning. Amazing woman...women. Peace

im watching this for my Online Humanities class at southeastern University Florida. Thanks for this informational video

[@tedmoore6348]

Learned a lot about history.So many women with their brilliant contributions I knew nothing of especially in the medieval period. Wow! Beautiful! Thoughtful!

Came here after watching Feminists: What were they thinking? Thanks for the up close tour!

Beautiful. Such a wonderful way to Honor such Sacred Women!

[@LemonGoofball]

Love this sort of thing. Reminds me of "Disney World Queue "Art""

Thank you so much for the detailed video

[@MarkAtingi]

9:02 looks like the French Fleur de Lis just like the embroidered design on the table cloth.

[@pinkpanther7030]

If only I could take part in Judy Chicago's lectures I would have liked to pose a question to her. Is "female imagery" regarded as an art of its own kind by the world of contemporary art&media? Or is it just one more "object" of commodity.🤔

To bad the link to Judy’s video doesn’t work; it is private

[@undercarver8777]

V každej krajine na svete by malo vzniknúť podobné dielo,na pamiatku skvelých žien danej krajiny.

So demonstrative of the problem in society, the insecurity of men. Unable to address a simple question with substance, the accusation is to me, as a person, somehow evil and defective. Study the classics, why don't you? The reduction of women to a few negative qualities is pretty lame. Who do you take me for?

[@Watchmewatch5752]

@Karl Jansen Maybe you have to be a woman to have felt what she describes. Anger is a healthy emotion if directed in a positive way.

Love Elizabeth the first, she at 10:28.

A dinner party with goddesses, queens and famous women artists... Where are the written out of history ???

[@turnover7]

Most people don't know these women. Besides, the work also includes the names of 999 additional women.

[@webspecific]

Wow, a Boudicca/Boadaceia scholar was drawn to The Dinner Party to school us in pronunciation. I love learning but the tone sounds personal and dismissive. Don't bother to do a lovely educational retrospective if you don't know how to pronounce a name? As it happens, there are different ways of spelling and pronouncing the name of the warrior-goddess. Boadaceia is the spelling used in The Dinner Party project. Chicago's beautiful book about the creation of the Dinner Party tells us that plate was redone many times: once due to cracking at the bisque stage, once in the glaze firing stage and twice nearing completion. The name of this warrior-queen has been pronounced, as you might imagine, differently by those from different countries or cultures over the centuries.

[@cactusbound]

Why is it that all the plates look like vaginas or a uterus or breast. Really? As a woman I found it offensive. Is this the best a woman artist could do?

[@蓝色卡比兽]

This is the opposite of male penis worship. If you feel uncomfortable, is it because you feel ashamed? The shame is more male-controlled than natural.

[@TheVillainWithGlasses]

if you watch the show squid game there is a scene where they replicate the dinner party

[@joshuakent5]

I love how you just either skip over saying the names you don't know how to pronounce or just butcher them. Hearing you pronounce Boudicca was like nails on a chalkboard.

[@jsphotos]

Lighten up.

[@turnover7]

Seriously, that's your take on this video?
