We are delighted to announce that Cathy Begien's highly acclaimed video "Black Out" will be included in the Brooklyn Museum's exhibition "Reflections on the Electric Mirror: New Feminist Video." Curated by Lauren Ross, Interim Curator of the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, and also featuring work by Jen DeNike; Harry Dodge and Stanya Kahn; Kate Gilmore; K8 Hardy and Wynne Greenwood; Klara Liden; and Shannon Plumb, the work in this exhibition shows "varied approaches from humor to intense revelation. Thematic threads include the embrace of media appropriation and parody; repetition of self-imposed tasks; and rebelliousness—the lashing out society and the self."
