The Guerrila Girls came to our museum this month as part of a teacher workshop to launch a new set of teaching posters the Education department developed. The teaching posters feature 5 women artists. The Guerrila girls then gave a presentation in the auditorium. They performed a song (which was the world premier of it), gave a short overview (with slides) of their history up to the recent past, and spoke about the artists and posters a bit. It was a very successful program, and attracted lots of general audience besides the workshop participants. The historical overview of the GG's was great and fun to see. I would have liked hearing more hard data about how women are faring in the visual arts now. For ARLIS/NA, it might be interesting to build their visit around a particular concept/program in a similar fashion to what they did here. Mary Wassermann Slide Librarian and Associate Librarian Philadelphia Museum of Art Ray Anne mentioned inviting the Guerrila Girls to an ARLIS/NA conference. Here's one of the reasons why we should consider this: www.guerrillagirls.com/posters/tragedy.html I'd like to see what they would say about our profession. --shannon ********** ********** ********** Shannon Van Kirk Head, Art & Architecture Library 7B Wertz Art & Architecture Library Miami University, Oxford, OH 45056 [log in to unmask] tel.: (513) 529-6650 FAX: (513) 529-4159
