Sydney Film Festival screening of This Woman is Not a Car, 10.30 am, Saturday 18 June 2017, AGNSW
For the first time since 1981, audiences in Sydney will have the opportunity to see This Woman is Not a Car – the renowned 1977 series of ceramic Holdens by artist Margaret Dodd, together with her 1982 film of the same name. Dodd's audacious film and ‘funk ceramic’ Holdens explore femininity and the maternal; fantasy, humour and the erotic: masculinity, fetishism and violence. Both will be showing at The Cross Art Projects throughout June, along with works from her more recent series, Chosen Vessel and Holden Hypotheses. Dodd is also producing a select series of prints of her 1970s Holden works, especially for the exhibition
