Justine Kurland MFA ’98 in “Double Dare Ya”

Justine Kurland is one of three artists on display from February 4 to May 29, 2022 in Henry Art Gallery’s North Galleries at the University of Washington in Seattle.

Viewpoints is a rotating series that highlights artwork from the Henry’s collection, paired with commentary and insights from members of the University of Washington community. This iteration of Viewpoints presents paintings by Amanda Ross-Ho (b. 1975, Chicago, IL) with photographs by Marsha Burns (b. 1945, Seattle, WA) and Justine Kurland (b. 1969, Warsaw, NY) that explore self-expression and identity formation during adolescence. Double Dare Ya, the exhibition’s title, refers to the 1992 Bikini Kill song of the same name in which Kathleen Hanna addresses girls in her audience directly, “Dare ya to do what you want, dare ya to be who you will, dare ya to cry right out loud.”
