The American artists Rosemary Mayer and Donna Dennis became best friends when chance \u2013 and their individual connections to the New York poetry world \u2013 brought them to live\/work spaces a block from one another in New York\u2019s Little Italy around 1970. It was the most formative time in their young lives as artists: Inviting each other over for dinner and a look, when a new work was finished, was like a celebration and the best kind of competition.
In her lecture \u201cRosemary Mayer and Donna Dennis: Beginnings on the Cusp of the 1970s New York City\u201d, Donna Dennis attempts to create a sense of what it was like to be young women artists just starting out in downtown New York in the heady, challenging early days of the 1970s. As a basis for this lecture serve excerpts from the journals, which Rosemary Mayer and Donna Dennis both used as a primary source for shaping their works, along with images of their work and their friends, especially those in their feminist consciousness-raising group.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
