For more information about the show or the discussion, click here.
- For our “Not To Be Missed” section, we would like to mention Cindy Nemser’s exhibition Women’s Work: Homage to Feminist Art at the Tabla Rasa Gallery in Brooklyn. The show features work by artists from the second and third-wave and is coming down soon–May 13th, so check it out. Nemser is the author of the book Art Talk: Conversations with 15 Women Artists. The artists include: Barbara Hepworth, Sonia Delaunay, Louise Nevelson, Lee Krasner, Alice Neel, Grace Hartigan, Eva Hesse, Lila Katzen, Eleanor Antin, Audrey Flack, Nancy Grossman, Betye Saar, Isabel Bishop and Janet Fish. We recommend this book for any feminist library!
- We would also like to congratulate Audrey Flack on the installation of her sculpture Veritas et Justitia at the Thirteenth Judicial Courthouse in Tampa FL. We discovered in the May issue of Art in America that after the sculpture was installed the poet-laureate of Tampa, James E. Tokley, Sr., was inspired by the work and wrote a poem in its honor. Learn more about Flack’s sculpture project and her other work on her Feminist Art Base profile.
- Last but not least, we would like to congratulate Dena Muller, former Director of A.I.R. Gallery, on her new position as Executive Director of ArtTable. To learn more about ArtTable click here.

Once again thanks. I just want to mention that I hope to be posting on my blog www.cindynemser.blogspot.com. as the season starts to get heated up and hopeful feminist activity starts appearing all over the world. I may soon start doing installments of my just completed memoir now retitled Cockroaches and Queens: Tales of a Feminist Art Critic.
Best wishes,
Cindy Nemser
