This Page Intentionally Left Blank



Seen more frequently in the past, the phrase "This page intentionally left blank" sometimes still appears on official or published documents. Consequently, one is usually struck with a natural curiosity about this phrase and it's purpose.

In the exhibition This Page Intentionally Left Blank, the new work of Jeremy Rabus, Amy VanDonsel and Bryan Walsh will address and investigate the visual and psychological effects of the appearance of this phrase on some printed materials.
 

Opening Reception: April 23, 2010, 6–10 p.m.
2646 Cherokee Street, St. Louis, MO 63118
music by DJ Chilly C

Exhibition on view:
Saturday, April 24 & Saturday, May 1, Noon–4 p.m.

Sleepy Kitty in the RFT

Nice piece on Cherokee's own Sleepy Kitty in this week's Riverfront Times.

Life Blood Exhibit preview party - Friday, April 9 at Fort Gondo

The Life Blood Exhibit preview party is almost here!  Opening this Friday night!  One-night only.  Free and open to the public.

Preview Party Kickoff!
Friday, April 9, 2010, 7 – 10 PM
Fort Gondo Compound for the Arts
3151 Cherokee St.
Life Blood Exhibit is proud to be part of beverlyear at Fort Gondo Compound for the Arts. This one-night-only event will include a small sampling of works by several artists in the exhibition, a bathroom installation by Jennifer Weigel and a silent auction including artworks by local artists, a Luna Pads intro kit & two certificates towards The Keeper menstrual cup products.

Life Blood Exhibit is a group art show coordinated by Jennifer Weigel and themed around menstruation that will travel to various venues throughout the St. Louis metro region from 2010 – 2011 and then 
travel nationally from 2011 – 2012. Each showing will highlight different artists in the group.  This traveling art show features thirteen St. Louis women artists exploring the theme of menstruation, from menarche to motherhood to menopause and more. Some works are humorous while others are serious, but all are thought-provoking.  Please see the shows, join in the conversation, and help break the 
taboo! More information can be found on the website. www.lifebloodexhibit.com/

Artists:
Lisa Becker, Danielle Correll, Annette Crymes, Marsha Heck, Christine Ilewski, Aunia Kahn, Arlene Ligori, Barbara Merlotti, Janice Nesser, Pat Owoc, Roxanne Phillips, Evie Shucart, Jennifer Weigel

By drawing attention to the female body and to the menstrual cycle, artists are able to comment on this life-giving aspect of womanhood and to celebrate and/or show their discontent with their own bodies & 
cycles. We are able to offer commentary on experience, confront stereotypes & assumptions and educate one another about things too often left unsaid. Thus we can explore the positive & negative to turn around preconceptions and help break the taboo surrounding menstruation.

Life Blood Exhibit is sponsored in part by The Keeper, Inc., the leader and most trusted & recognized name in the industry, manufacturing menstrual cups since 1987.  http://www.keeper.com/

Workshops at All Along Press

All Along Press has just posted our new class schedule. We currently have classes running from April through July, with more to come. Classes range in length from 2 days to several weeks and focus on leaving with a well formed finished product, participating in a collaborative project, or making a
giant mess.

Take a look at whats coming up at http://www.allalongpress.com/ workshops



Also, we will have open houses every Thursday from 6pm to 8pm. There will  be lots of printing and hanging out, as well as scary presses that make noise and move on their own.

Thanks!
