MA Final Thesis

Influential power of voice - Significance and contribution of text-based art in contemporary women’s practice

This thesis examines the role of text-based art in contemporary women’s artists practice, in what way it contrasts to male text-based practice and how contextual elements contribute to women artists acclaiming their voice through this practice. It critically interrogates the relationship between language, gender and voice. This research follows the contextual approach as a conceptual tool to investigate language and text in relation to gender and voice. Contribution and importance of women’s text-based practice can be seen from the continuity of its relevance of ideas and artists. Seminal artists from the 1980’s have demonstrated their relevance as they keep reappearing on the Internet and creating discussion.
