I was interviewed recently by Julie Wyman’s student Yan Gu for the Feminist Film Archive, a collection of interviews with cinema artists by students of Wyman (UC Davis) and Irene Lusztig (UC Santa Cruz), as part of their co-taught feminist filmmaking class. The archive will continue to grow, and already includes interviews with wonderful filmmakers Deborah Stratman, Cauleen Smith, Lynn Sachs, Zoe Beloff and many more.

Phoenix Nasty Women Planned Parenthood Benefit

IMG_4329

I co-organized the Phoenix Nasty Women exhibition and Planned Parenthood benefit Jan. 14, 20 + 21 with Colleen Donohoe, Patricia Sannit, Laura Dragon and Erika Hanson. We were one of over ~30 sister shows to the originating Nasty Women benefit at the Knockdown Center in NYC. Our PHX version raised over $19,300 for Planned Parenthood Arizona. In addition to the work on the walls (we received ~320 donated works from Arizona artists) we hosted a dance performance (1/20) by Nicole L. Olsen and DanceArtists and a Nasty Women reading (1/21) curated by Deborah Sussman. Here’s our website: https://phxnastywomen.wordpress.com/ And here is an interview with me about the show on our local NPR station: http://kjzz.org/content/421266/nasty-women-phoenix-unite-art-show-open-phoenix

AIR History Video

In 2008 I created a short (16-minute) documentary about AIR Gallery, the first artist-run, all-women gallery in the U.S. Founded in 1972, the gallery is still going strong and is home to many interesting artists and runs several important public programs. Esteemed artists Nancy Spero, Dotty Attie, Mary Beth Edelson, Agnes Denes, Ana Mendieta and others began their careers at AIR> The AIR documentary was produced as part of the AIR History show, on exhibit at Fales Library and the Tracey / Barry Gallery at New York University from May through October 2008. The video was produced by Kat Griefen and AIR Gallery. Major funding was provided by Fales Library. Camera, editing and directing by Meredith Drum.
