Female Icons by De Geuzen
Review by Marisa Plumb.

Female Icons is a multifaceted project by the artist group known as De Geuzen. Riek Sijbring, Femke Snelting, and Renee Turner are the primary members, and have been making work together under the De Geuzen identity since 1996. Female icons includes workshops, an online archive of images and tags, a user-generated collection of photos, and other generative events that the group hosts at events and festivals.

"The ways in which history and its archives help us to define biography have changed with the availability of images and information. The Female Icons project recognizes this milieu of material as our contemporary toolbox for understanding complex and dynamic notions, such as 'the feminine'."
