Why did you stray from the art world into the worlds of politics, Hollywood and other issues?
Guerrilla Girls: Frequently Asked QuestionsAlmost from the beginning, we did campaigns about homelessness, abortion, and war, among many other issues. We've never been systematic, we just go after one target after another. (There are plenty to choose from.) Recently, we've been attacking the film industry for the pathetically low numbers of women and people of color behind the scenes. We're also working on more political posters, a body image campaign and an attack on the music industry.
Related QuestionsHow were you able to put up those billboards in Hollywood? What did people say about them?
Guerrilla Girls: Frequently Asked QuestionsBack in 1999, The Nation asked us to contribute something to a special issue on film and culture. We came up with The Anatomically Correct Oscar. We redesigned the golden boy to make him look more like the white guys who usually win. In 2002, a bunch of female film makers joined us to raise the money to do it as a billboard at Melrose and Highland, a few blocks from the Academy Award ceremony. It got a lot of press and was a great way to annoy Hollywood in it's own backyard.

Related QuestionsSo, are things ok for women in the art world now?
Guerrilla Girls: Frequently Asked QuestionsThings are better now than they ever have been for women and artists of color and we have helped effect that change. Right now there is decent representation of women and artists of color at the beginning and emerging levels of the art world. At the institutional level however, in museums, major collections and auctions sales, things are still pretty dismal for all but white guys. We believe that the economics of the art market is responsible for this.
