“I really think there is a female aesthetic,” said the Canadian multi-media artist Joyce Wieland (1930–1998). “It feels different to be a woman.” This sense of female autonomy animated Wieland’s revolutionary work in a number of mediums—painting, drawing, textiles, film, and sculpture. She is best remembered for textiles and film. Her quilts embrace a traditionally feminine art form but with an activist spirit. And tempered in the experimental film world of 1960s New York, Wieland became one of the foremost avant-garde filmmakers of her generation, known for her manipulation of filmstrips. This is the first retrospective on Wieland in almost 40 years. —Lucy Horowitz
