Multimedia artist Cary Leibowitz was one of the few men included by curator Marcia Tucker in the landmark exhibition Bad Girls, which introduced a new generation of humorous and edgy feminist art, at the New Museum of Contemporary Art in 1994. Leibowitz remarked that men making art about gender try to be good boys, not bad girls, often making fun of masculinity, while avoiding sexist imagery. The cheerfully scripted texts in Leibowitz's paintings walk the edge of political correctness. I'm A Jew how 'bout U?!! shares with contemporary feminist art a playfulness with language and self-representation.
