The photos the artist used were taken from Donahue's personal Twitter account.
Andrea Bowers’ recent Art Basel exhibition, Open Secrets, is a massive installation designed in response to the #MeToo movement. In an Instagram statement, Andrew Kreps provided this statement about the piece: “The work contains approximately 200 photographic prints, each of which lists the name and occupation of an accused person, as well as their response to the allegations, printed in the typeface in which they were originally published.
Ironically, though, Bowers did not obtain consent from the survivors to use the images in her piece. On Twitter, writer Helen Donahue expressed her disgust at her story being told and her likeness being shown without any prior approval on her behalf.
— helen June 11, 2019 Open Secrets is valued at $300,000. Bowers should not profit from people’s sexual trauma without obtaining their explicit consent to use their images in her art, especially when she included a tweet with the person’s Twitter handle included: she knew exactly where she could have reached out.
Bowers has apologized in a statement to The Cut, saying: “I should have asked for her consent…I have reached out privately and am very much looking forward to listening.” #cf_5 .cf-btn:after { border-radius: 0px } .cf-content-wrap, .cf-form-wrap{ padding:5px; } div#cf_5 { margin-bottom: 20px; } .cf-content-text.cf-col { padding-left: 20px;padding-right:20px; } convertforms.cf-success .cf-response { background-color: #e9007b; display: block; } Photo credit: Andrew Kreps gallery Put Your Money Where Your Art Is: Women And People Of Color Take On Big Pharma And RacismWomen's Careers Will Stall Because Men Are Afraid Of #MeTooEmma Davey is a blog editor for BUST.
