  Hamilton, ON L8S 4L6 \n\nDescription: \nBridging theatre, lip-sync, da
 nce, drag, costume, and comedy, the renowned Canadian artist trio The 
 Clichettes developed a groundbreaking practice at the crossroads of perfor
 mance art and feminist satire. This exhibition focuses on The Clichettes’ 
 collaboration from 1978 to 1993, when Louise Garfield, Janice Hladki, a
 nd Johanna Householder performed to fervent audiences in Toronto and inter
 nationally, animating galleries, bars, cabarets, concert halls, festi
 vals, benefits, rallies, and the streets. They produced four full-lengt
 h plays, performing sold-out shows at theatres and alternative venues acr
 oss Canada.Over a fifteen-year period, and hundreds of performances, The
  Clichettes adopted dozens of personas—from love-sick girl to metalhead to
  lounge lizard to femme fatale—scrutinizing the tropes of femininity and m
 asculinity as they sought to invert the archetypes so embedded in our cult
 ural landscape. Greek mythology, art history, B movies, science fiction
 , 60s fashion, Motown, and hard rock: these were just some of their sou
 rces and reference points. Their characters were equally eclectic: Medusa\
 , a quail hunter, a beanbag chair, a turtle, Fidel Castro. Unequivocall
 y experimental, playful, and humorous, The Clichettes’ work was always—
 above all—political, exposing, challenging, and dismantling the structu
 res that define power under patriarchy.In the group’s first-ever retrospec
 tive, the McMaster Museum of Art celebrates The Clichettes’ many dynamic 
 collaborations with artists, writers, designers, and directors. The exh
 ibition brings together over 150 costumes, props, videos, photographs,
  drawings, scripts, and archival materials that attest to The Clichettes
 ’ radical vision for a better world.Curated by: Ivana DizdarOpening Recept
