Art Radio WPS1.org, the Internet radio station of P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, will audio-stream the live audio feed from the sold-out symposium The Feminist Future: Theory and Practice in the Visual Arts. Beginning at 9:00 a.m. EST and concluding at 6:00 p.m. on both days, Art Radio WPS1.org offers the symposium in its entirety, including introductory remarks, keynote addresses, panel discussions, respondent lectures, and concluding remarks. The audio will also be archived on the Think Modern: Adult and Academic Programs Audio Archive on www.moma.org.

I have mentioned the Feminist Art Project during meetings. I hope to promote the Mother of God show strongly within the FAP and would also like to introduce it more formally to all of you. Below is an update e-mail from the NJ coordinator Midori Yoshimoto. FAP will have some events at The College Art Association Conference coming up in February in NYC. Please look into the links below—lots of great panels and events organized by the late Arlene Raven and art historian Anne Swartz. This year is the target year for the FAP, it would be great to get as involved as possible.

******************************************************

To: Participants in the Feminist Art Project – NJ Regional Committee,
and Those who are interested and hoping to come next time,

First, my apologies for silencing for a while! After our meeting on
10/4 at NJCU, I became too occupied with other things. Here, I would
like to take a moment to follow up on our meeting and make a few
announcements. I’m currently looking for an idea and venue for our
next meeting, perhaps in March or April (since many of us are so busy
with CAA.) If you have any upcoming feminist-art related events and
are interested in hosting our meeting during those events, please let
me know.

At the last meeting, Doris Cacoilo, along with other artist members of
_gaia, a collective of women in multidisciplinary arts
(www.gaiastudio.org) based in Hoboken, provided an informative
powerpoint talk on gaia’s history and past activities. Some details
are recorded in the attached minutes for your interest. Their
presentation was so interesting and we did not really have time to
discuss generational differences in feminism. Our next meeting may
pick up where we left off or generate new topics.

As Nicole Plett informed some of you (already on the listserve), the
CAA conference in NY this year features many special events related to
or initiated by The Feminist Art Project. Doris Cacoilo and I will be
speaking in the first feminist art session on Saturday, Feb. 17, and
I’m also involved in organizing the Award Ceremony for Distinguished
Women in the Arts, cohosted by the CAA’s Committee on Women in the
Arts, of which I am currently the chair, and the Women’s Caucus for
Art. This year’s honorees include Judy Brodsky and Ferris Olin, who
have been driving force of the Feminist Art Project. Please support
these events and spread a word!

I am looking for a bit more info on adding that final layer of shellac and getting it really smooth. I found some
info on the web, but it’s always a bit different and I would like to hear some other suggestions. I have my
600 sandpaper and 0000 steel wool and some polishing wax so far. But would like some more input. On one I tried a “padding” technique, but the cloth was a bit to textured, and now it looks a bit like really old crackled shellac. I sort of like that though.
I also found out shellac is bug poop. I love it.
Anyway, thanks.
