You can check out\u00a0<i>Rock, Hard, Place<\/i>\u00a0now at the UMFA\u2019s Phyllis Cannon Wattis Gallery for Twentieth Century Art. And at 5 pm Thursday, March 27, the artist will be on hand to\u00a0discuss how her work investigates female identity, artistic labor, and resistance as a way of challenging heroic myths and gendered stereotypes.\u00a0<i><br \/>\n<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Members of FoCA are invited to join the artist for a private reception after the talk.
