RHONDA URDANG (b. NE) is an interdisciplinary artist who has largely been inspired by the intersectional feminist and peace movements. She has had a varied and interesting career; she has worked as a type setter, museum gallery attendant, apprentice dot etcher, and journeyman color separation artist on high-fashion catalogs in the graphic arts industry in Omaha and Phoenix. Since leaving academia, the patriarchy, and pseudoscience behind (some things are folktales or misbelief), her ingenuity has flourished. Her visionary artwork responds to historical and world events, when painting and the female artist are still being diminished, silenced, marginalized, and erased. Human, civil, and worker's rights have been important social issues for her early on. Since founding Flagstaff Feminist Art Studio in mid-summer 2014, she has worked primarily in multiple disciplines including femmage, assemblage, book art, mixed media collage, digital manipulation, painting, experimental film, and satire. She gains visual pleasure from unraveling the feminine mystique while peeling away layers of buried eidetic memory in her innovative art practice. Source & more: www.rhondaurdang.com/about

There’s only a few days left to see Miriam Schapiro: The André Emmerich Years, Paintings from 1957–76 at Eric Firestone Gallery.

From the press release-

Miriam Schapiro (1923–2015) is now well-known as a pioneer of the Women’s Art Movement, and for her contribution to the Pattern and Decoration Movement. She fused craft work, traditionally made by women, with modern painting in collages termed “femmage.” However, this exhibition will additionally shed light on her early Abstract Expressionist canvases, and her pioneering approach utilizing computer technology to create Hard Edge geometric painting in the 1960s. Spotlighting the legacy of this feminist artist, the exhibition will explore three stylistic phases, with significant examples from these two decades of Schapiro’s career.

This exhibition closes 5/13/23.

Deconstuction & Rebuilding - Art Curation

Photography by Kaori Taylor, 2024, @Johns Hopkins University

This section of the blog focuses on Ms. Sharayna Christmas's curational work. In 2021 she curated the exhibition "we make do // wit wat we got” which featured the work of 7 femme artists located in Baltimore. The show was cross-discplinary, featuring fiber arts, poetry, and paintings. “we make do // wit wat we got” speaks to Black woman's ability to make "something outta nuthin."

Question Asked: When gathering the femme artists for “we make do // wit wat we got” what were you looking for in the pieces? What power do you see in amplifying art that works within the idea of “femmage”?

Meet Miriam Schapiro

An interview with the artist Miriam Schapiro Miriam Schapiro earned her master of fine arts degree at the University of Iowa in 1949 and in 1952 moved to New York City with her husband, the artist Paul Brach. In Manhattan, Schapiro discovered that women artists were not taken seriously by the male-dominated abstract expressionist movement. Schapiro's abstract paintings of the 1950s won her some recognition by museums and galleries, but she struggled for decades with her identities as a wife, mother, and professional painter. In the 1970s she collaborated with the artist Judy Chicago on Womanhouse, the mansion famously transformed by a women's art cooperative into a gigantic installation of feminist art. Schapiro's "femmages," her assemblages of scraps of fabric, buttons, lace, and other "feminine" tokens, appear in major American museums. The artist has been awarded fellowships and grants from many institutions, including the National Endowment for the Arts, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Ford Foundation. (2012)

1. Madvillainy - Madvillain

Been writing a verse to Sickfit which I most likely won’t keep but I find it surprising I’ve yet to hear anyone rap over that beat. Honestly it’s probably better that way.

2. Cold Cuts - Subjxct 5 & Wiki

Can’t get enough. “My Life” stays on repeat. One of the only songs over 5 min. that I have to play over and over again.

3. Half God - Wiki

4. Wiki93 - RATKING

5. Renaissance Man - MIKE

6. Thousand Knives - Ryuichi Sakamoto

My real proper introduction to his music. Really liking what I hear. Can already tell this guys discography is gonna be vast and a treasure trove for samples.

7. RICHtual by Maat Petrova of FEMMAGIC

Had a friend recommend this to me. They said they listened to it every morning as it’s basically just an album of affirmations over instrumentals. Not really my thing but I can see it being empowering for some.

8. Illmatic - Nas

Just felt nostalgic on the bus and had to revisit some songs. I’m not a hip hop scholar but I really don’t know many other rappers around that time that had multisyllabic rhymes as complex as Nas. “Life is parallel to Hell, but I must maintain And be prosperous, though we live dangerous Cops could just arrest me, blamin' us; we're held like hostages”.

Notice how he rhymes “prosperous”, “cops could just” and “hostages” while internally rhyming “dangerous” and blamin’ us”. Really cool stuff when you color code the rhyme scheme like that.

9. Posseshot - Posseshot

Melbourne hip hop. Unashamed to say I love it. Certain songs will never get old.
