Role Reverse Project

The combination of visiting Angels of Anarchy exhibition and last weeks lecture on Surrealist and Dada films I have gained an interest in the world of surrealist films. Focusing on the work of female artists and the idea of role reversal i have decided to work on a project about this. Looking at the way many of the female artists work at the Angels of Anarchy is trying to avoid the stereotypical women's role made me thinking about women's work and what is a man's work? And what it would mean to change these roles and make women's work men's work. How successful would this be?

I intend to research into these stereotypical roles and how different era's of time have effected these, including the present day in which there has been a rivival of old fashioned crafts typically done by women rather than men e.g knitting, embroidery and crochet.
