Not sure if this was already posted.

The article describes the referenced court case, and the artist's views and intentions.

Personally, I both loved and hated the idea at first. The more I think about it, the more I find it valuable in some way.

Kaechele’s husband, David Walsh, founded and owns the MONA.

The artist is lambasting exclusive Mens social clubs

Exclusive men’s social clubs have existed all over the world, including Canada, and particularly thrived in the 19th century. These exclusionary clubs often only accepted white members and barred women from entering the space, apart from when in service roles.

But if she was doing that truly, then it should have been only available to minority women. But she didn't. She also ignores there are a lot of women only exclusive clubs too, just ask any male victim of sexual assault looking for a support group.

This isn't some groundbreaking work, it's just sexist. The artist is tedious.

Isn't that the art piece? That it's being sexist in a way that's impacted women... But in a way that's obvious to men? Yeah it's clearly sexist. That's messed up. That's the point.

True that it doesn't mention the sexiest things that affect men and other women. But not every art piece has to capture every element of the human experience. This was focused on one point.
