Thank you for coming to Feminist Peep Show at AUNTS at Arts@Renaissance. This is the real Rape Tape audio. It’s the friends of the guy who raped me talking about and laughing about me. I am the “that Chrissy girl.” If you have any questions feel free to ask me. Thanks for coming to the installation and for being interested enough to be here.

Guerrilla Girls
In 1985, a group of female artists, incensed by an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art that included 165 artists but only 17 women, founded the Guerrilla Girls. Calling themselves The Conscience of the Artworld, they started making posters that bluntly stated the facts of discrimination and used humor to convey information and provoke discussion. They assumed the names of dead women artists, and began wearing gorilla masks when they appeared in public, concealing their true identities and focusing on the issues rather than on their personalities.
Thousands of supporters own copies of their work, as do institutions such as the New York Public Library, the Museum of Modern Art, and The Getty. They have been the subject of countless articles in newspapers and magazines, and have spoken at colleges, universities, and museums all over the world.
We’re very excited to host Amei Wallach and the Guerrilla Girls for an ArtTable breakfast at our office on May 22, 2013. Amei Wallach is a film maker, art critic, and curator. In fact, the Guerrilla Girls made a cameo appearance in Wallach’s universally hailed feature-length documentary, Louise Bourgeois: The Spider, The Mistress and The Tangerine.
ArtTable was founded in 1980 and is dedicated to the visual arts and to advancing women’s leadership in the field.
I am glad they did cuz I’m gonna climb in that hole next weekend.
stills from Program 1: Aspen Project by Dennis Oppenheim
The short pieces in this program record performative actions that evolve as exchanges or interactions between Oppenheim’s body and natural elements: rocks, leaves, glass, wood. In some pieces, these gestures involve a kind of self-negation; others work in reverse, as Oppenheim leaves imprints or traces of himself.

Where would a woman have to come from to have that much body hair naturally?
Not trying to sound like an asshole, this photo is lovely, I am just genuinely curious.
Hi there! Thanks for the compliment. :) I was born in the US and am a pretty vast mixture of different ethnicities, mostly European. The biggest chunk (1/4) and the heritage I feel the most connected to is Italian. My grandfather’s side of the family comes from Bari and Calabria in Southern Italy. :) Honestly, through my Body Hair Aware project, I have learned that (as I suspected) male pattern body hair on women is far more common than most people know because most of the women who have it hide and/or remove it with regularity and rarely discuss it. You would be amazed by the number of women (from many different backgrounds and ethnicities) who have messaged me who also have a great deal of body hair - even chest hair. It’s something humanity has rejected for so long, many people don’t even know it exists. I find this and the psychology behind it vastly intriguing.
I love you, Tango ♥

Every day we’re highlighting some awesome stuff up for bidding at The Moth Ball Auction! Today, Edgar Oliver and his amazing, distinctive voice.
Wow your friends, and befuddle telemarketers, with a recorded voicemail message from the man who Ben Brantley inTheNew York Timescalled “a spell-casting raconteur who sounds as if he learned to speak in the crypt of a Hammer horror movie.”
Edgar Oliver is one of the most beloved, and recognizable, voices in the New York City theatre scene. His latest one-man show,Helen and Edgar, was critically acclaimed and hisstoriesat The Moth are some of our all-time favorites.
Who needs Carl Kasell when you can have Edgar Oliver!
My old friend Edgar. His voice is amazing.
Artist Austin Kleon’s irreverent and heart-warming newspaper blackout poem for his mom. His Newspaper Blackout project is full of gems like this one.

AUNTS is Laurie Berg and Lillian Dirks-Goodman and everyone who shows up. AUNTS has invited a bunch of artists to perform, they then curated another artist to perform, and so on and so on. Each show is in the typical AUNTS format with overlapping performances, open dance parties, multi-disciplinary, body/non-body based, time oriented, finished/experimental/unfinished/process art.
I have no idea what I am going to do yet. Something old, something new, something borrowed something blue?
