The A.I.R. Gallery 10th Biennial: “36 Cats and one stripe pussy”
Curated by Ingrid Schaffner

December 6, 2012 – January 5, 2013

“36 Cats and one stripe pussy,” curated by Ingrid Schaffner, is an exhibition of work by thirty-six women artists from the United States and abroad of diverse backgrounds. The exhibition will be on view from December 6, 2012 – January 5, 2013. The opening reception will be held on Thursday, December 6th, from 6–9 PM.

The exhibition's curator, writes: “Is there something inherently Feminist about the juried exhibition? As a juror/curator you start with a vast number of different kinds of work submitted through an open call that is further democratized by having no names or other signifying clues as to an artist’s identity, origin, or affiliation. Destabilizing and potentially productive, this process allows the curator to operate free of dominant paradigms and values. Of course, the fact that all of the artists in the A.I.R. Biennial are women is far less compelling than the imaginative power and politics of inclusion and disruption that continue to make Feminism such a formidable cultural force.”

Isabel Barbuzza, Sarah Brent, Rachel Dawson, Diana Delgado, Princess Dennis, Al Denyer, Kate Donnelly, Annie Ewaskio, Louisa Flannery, Ghislaine Fremaux, Kathy Grove, Shanti Grumbine, Deborah Hamon, Cameron Harvey, Lori Hepner, Elizabeth Hoy, Heidi Lau, Sujin Lee, Leigh Leibel, Linda Levinson, Sara Lynch, Li Ma, Chika Matsuda, Editha Mesina, Rosemary Meza-Desplas, B Milder, Gina Randazzo, Eleanor Ray, Cathleen Sachse, Gyan Shrosbree, Barb Smith, Marta Spagnol, Mariko Spigner, Erica Stoller, Kelli Thompson and Jenny Wiener are included in the exhibition.
