Hot on the heels of their most recent special, Something Special, Gadsby has partnered with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brooklynmuseum.org\/exhibitions\/its_pablo_matic_picasso_according_to_hannah_gadsby\" target=\"_blank\">the Brooklyn Museum<\/a> to present It\u2019s Pablo-matic: Picasso According to Hannah Gadsby, an exhibition following the thread they\u2019ve pulled throughout their career on bringing to public light the icon\u2019s misogynistic fervour.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Gadsby rocketed to international acclaim with their uncompromising and sincere voice, telling of their experience as an artist, art historian, and human within cishet male-dominated spaces in Nanette. They followed this success up with another special, Douglas, as well as a TED Talk, both further expanding on prior thematic concepts and diving into their adulthood diagnosis of autism.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In Gadsby\u2019s ongoing discussions of chauvinistic paradigms within the art world and its history, Pablo Picasso crops up as a recurrent figure of ire. An entirely fair target, given the now much more widespread awareness of the cubist\u2019s disdain for women. Through It\u2019s Pablo-matic, Gadsby and the Brooklyn Museum aim to bring together Picasso\u2019s works alongside female artists across the 20th and 21st centuries to examine \u201cthe artist\u2019s complicated legacy through a critical, contemporary, and feminist lens, even as it acknowledges his work\u2019s transformative power and lasting influence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The exhibition, which opened June 2nd and runs till September 24th, hosts this myriad of works\u2014which includes Cecily Brown, Renee Cox, K\u00e4the Kollwitz, and Dindga McCannon, among others\u2014alongside a guided audio tour by Gadsby that lampoons Picasso (or as they seem fond to call him, \u201cPP\u201d) and aims to give the insight of this shifting perspective on the figure\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Already, the exhibition seems to have become divisive amongst critics. Some, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/art-news\/reviews\/hannah-gadsby-its-pablo-matic-brooklyn-museum-review-1234670115\/\" target=\"_blank\">including ARTnews<\/a>, believe the endeavour to have missed its own point through a lack of representative works from women that emerged alongside Picasso, instead largely still maintaining the focus on his own work, while an NYT critic seemed more irate. But the Brooklyn Museum has held its stance on the importance of It\u2019s Pablo-matic, with museum director Anne Pasternak writing to Art Newspaper: \u201cTo those who question whether Gadsby\u2019s voice belongs in this exhibit, I would simply ask: Whose interests are threatened by including it? Or, who benefits from excluding it?\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hannah Gadsby made international waves with their unique Netflix stand-up\/storytelling hybrid Nanette back in 2018, digging into their history as a comedian, their studies of art history, and the rampant walls of patriarchal hate and violence that surrounded them.
