A Conversation between Susan Bee and Tim Barry

On the occasion of Susan Bee: The Eye of the Storm: Selected Works 1981-2023

Portrait of the Artist as a Young Pig (1983)

Susan Bee's Provincetown museum show closed today. This interview is being published to mark the occasion.

Catalog available here.

Tim Barry: Susan, I am very familiar with your work, as I showed you and your great friends, the wonderful artists Mimi Gross and Mira Schor, at my bookshop in Provincetown in 2016 in the show: “Three Friends.” So, congratulations on your first museum retrospective! The editor at Artsfuse, Bill Marx, recently saw the exhibition and noted that his initial take on your show was that it uses folk art and outsider art imperatives “to explore issues of feminism, among others.” Is this accurate?
