Patricia Zimmerman writes an artful review of Fierce: Women's Hot Blooded Film/Video, featuring Dana Claxton, Maureen Bradley, Allyson Mitchell, and b.h.Yael. Zimmerman identifies a commonality binding the artists work in this cohesive exhibition, extending beyond gender. Coming from the legacy of feminist media practices, yet moving beyond identity politics in to media work that is more relational, the exhibition successfully creates flexible environments across genres. Common threads running through the exhibition are 'poly phonics" (music), topics of micro-territories (queer identity, childhood memory, Israel/Palestine conflict), and "ardent space" (converting a linear forward drive of the temporal in to an open horizontal space). "In Fierce, media work blends discourses, practices, and spectators, enfolding the polarizations, oppositions, and contradictions of earlier feminist works".
