In April, Hobart’s Museum of Old and New Art (Mona) was ordered by the Tasmanian Civil and Administrative Tribunal to allow men to enter its women-only Ladies Lounge, after a male visitor, Jason Lau, filed a complaint based on anti-discrimination claims.
The fact that the court ruled in favour of letting men enter the Ladies Lounge is what prompted Kaechele to publicise the forgery, therefore stripping away the magic of the place that the men have fought so hard to enter. “The idea is to drive men as crazy as possible,” wrote Kaechele in her blog post on Mona dated 10 July.
