Oscars, guerilla girl style
So the Oscars were pretty lame this year. Maybe they needed some Guerilla Girl action. Remember them?
Clad in trademark gorilla masks, this feminist-art group is perhaps the first and finest of the Culture Jammers movement. Amongst their triumphs is this huge billboard poster proclaiming: The Anatomically Correct Oscar: He’s White and Male, Just Like The [...]

A new exhibit just opened at the Brooklyn Museum’s Sackler Center for Feminist Art. We hear it’s mostly made up of photos, suffragette newsletters and handwritten notes. Based on that info we think this might feel more like a field trip than a day at the art museum. But the curators have found a way [...]

Chris Jordan’s barbie image is extremely striking– I had to look at it twice before I scrolled down and processed what I was seeing. He isn’t a female artist (as per girlartindex) but the other pieces in the series are so great, I just had to link.

Sad news. Polaroid will stop producing film for its instant cameras. within the year! Turns out too many people have switched to digital. But who ever used polaroids as their main camera anyway? Polaroids are clearly for creative art projects, kinky sex acts and organizing closets. And for all those reasons it will be sorely [...]

Enid Crow: Disaster Photographs
I first met Enid Crow a few years ago, when she agreed to photograph my band for the cover of our record. It was a rainy afternoon in the financial district and almost all the streets were empty. Standing under her umbrella, she showed me a book about Henry Darger’s vivian girls. (An inspiration [...]
