Baby It’s Cold Outside: an experiment in gender, art, and expression
Curated by EL Putnam and featuring the work of over 20 artists
RECEPTION: Friday, December 4, 2009, 6 to 9 pm
ON VIEW: December 5 – 19, 2009
“Baby It’s Cold Outside” presents curator and artist EL Putnam’s vision for a new type of feminist discourse in the arts that involves a variety of media, from painting to performance, a multitude of viewpoints, and works by men, women, or anygenderwhatever. This show is about how each artist does/does not define, dismiss, despise, and/or devote her- or himself to “feminism.” This show is about creating a dialogue concerning gender in art, with emphasis being placed on ambiguity and confusion. Instead of creating a series of vagina monologues, the works in this exhibit presents a cacophonic version of gender discussion in all of its messy glory. Artists were encouraged to offend, but to “just be mindful as to whom you piss off.”
This is your chance to see “Dead, Wrapped in Plastic“—my sculpture of dead Laura Palmer—live and in-person!

I’m sad to have missed the opening, but I definitely want to see the entire show. Is there a closing night, too?
