“Creating the "post-scratch" chroma-key switcher effects she has made famous, the artist inserts her body into the world of the prime time soap opera, "Dynasty," where she does her now classic performance about the ways TV spectatorship simultaneously owns and disgusts its audience. Embodying the love/hate relationships so many of us experience with the characters and values of TV, Braderman "performs" feminist and reception theory, turning the reigning ideas of her period into video vernacular. She skewers 80's obsessions with money and power and its sexual anxieties in a piece - both hilarious and terrifying. “Few have matched the bravery and wit of JOAN DOES DYNASTY.”

                                               Bob Reilly, SF MOMA

“Videomaker Braderman uses her own body as the site for exploring the ways our own culture of appearances meets the politics of identity... "She looks at life through rose colored glasses, then whips them off and dishes the dirt: movies meet life, life meets death and romance meets Perdue chicken in this meditation on our illicit VCR pleasures. Watch and eat your heart out.”

                                                            B. Ruby Rich

​

​

“A masterpiece.”

                             Joel Kovel, author of The Age of Desire and History and Spirit, et al.

 

​

​

“Smart, low-budget bridge between theory and pop culture, funny and devastating at the same time."                               

                                          Philadelphia City Paper

… Brilliantly written and realized”

Carrie Mae Weems

“JOAN DOES DYNASTY has become the classic feminist performance video of the era.“

               Dee Dee Halleck

“The artists' first venture into video performance is a manic enactment of the relationship of readers with tabloids. Championing gossip as "history according to women and more likely to be "true" than the New York Times," she takes us on a schizophrenic personal narrative tour of the world according to the Enquirer.”

                                                                Martha Gever

 

Slandering the publisher on screen in true tabloid form, Braderman and De Landa create a style of scratch video, using sometimes vibrating, luridly framed video switcher "wipes" which both satirize and describe tabloid journalism's own glitzy style. An unreconstructed lover of tabloid fantasy, Braderman's face and body fly through the headlines and photos she loves in this brilliant and disturbing satire about popular culture and its ubiquitous place in our lives.”

THE HERESIES FILM PROJECT- Film & Digital Archive – www.heresiesfilmproject.org

​

THE HERETICS 95 min. NTSC, color/B/W, 2009, uncovers the inside story of the Second Wave of the Women’s Movement for the first time in a feature film. Joan Braderman, director and narrator, follows her dream of becoming a filmmaker to New York City in 1971. By lucky chance, she joins a feminist art collective at the epicenter of the 1970s art world in lower Manhattan. In this first person account, THE HERETICS charts the history of a feminist collective from the inside out.

​

The Heresies Collective published HERESIES; A Feminist Publication on Art and Politics from 1977-1992. The group included: writers such as Lucy Lippard and Elizabeth Hess; architect, Susana Torre; Creative Director of the New York Times and Real Simple Magazines, Janet Froelich; Curator of Film at the Museum of the American Indian, Elizabeth Weatherford and filmmaker, Su Friedrich; as well as such prolific and well known artists: Joan Snyder, Pat Steir, Ida Applebroog, Miriam Schapiro, Cecilia Vicuna, May Stevens, Harmony Hammond, Emma Amos, Michelle Stuart, Joyce Kozloff, Mary Miss, Amy Sillman and Marybeth Edelson. All the women (ages 54-84) are still doing the work they fought for the right to do when they founded HERESIES.

​

THE HERETICS focuses on the Heresies Collective as a microcosm of the larger international Women’s Movement in which thousands of small, intimate groups of women met together to consider their situation -- as women in a man’s world -- and to devise strategies for unlocking their potential and making their work visible.

NO MORE NICE GIRLS (1989) 3/4 inch, 44 min., color, sounds. combines fiction and collage. About what it's like to see your political destiny erased from "popular memory" and dumped in revisionist history's garbage pile. It's about having once felt magically "in synch" with the times; about the friends you made then, and how they sustain you through these times.
