Art work

Friends,
Gail and Iain could use some help with the Afflicted Powers installation at the Mills College gallery - wheatpasting and affichage of Neither Their War... and All Quiet.., cartage of thousands of broadsheets, perhaps lighting work, etc.  Is anyone available at short notice? We plan to pick up the broadsides from Inkworks c 9.30 tomorrow morning (Monday), and be over at Mills fairly soon after 10 am.

If anyone is free and willing, please give Gail a call

The show opens on the 16th January.

thanks
Gail and Iain

Curated by Marcia Tanner, Independent Curator

We Interrupt Your Program is a group show of video and new media works by fourteen emerging and mid-career female artists. Through their work, the artists intervene in, reconfigure, augment, and/or re-contextualize dominant narratives of war, violence, power, science, technology, gender, and the natural environment from a feminist, or at least female, perspective.

The exhibition includes work made by computer-manipulated video, video installation, interactive sculpture, and photography. All of the artists respond to mainstream media including network television, mass market feature films, computer and video games-interrogating them as restrictive cultural vocabularies that routinely exclude the female voice and point of view. Their work is powerfully expressive, conceptually complex, technically accomplished, uses humor and satire, and is relevant to our culture's historical moment.
