Unfrosted (2024) – ** I’d heard enough outright condemnation of Unfrosted to pique my curiosity; most of the films I’ve seen so far this year have been good or great, and one needs the occasional piece of crap for balance. But Unfrosted wasn’t so much bad as pervasively weak. Take the scene where Edsel Kellogg (Jim Gaffigan) warns our heroes about crossing the dairy industry, lest they end up on…

REKO MUSE was an art gallery in Olympia, WA, set up by Kathleen Hanna,Tammy Rae Carland, and Heidi Arbogast, prompted by having their artwork censored at the Evergreen State College.

"We were all trying to make feminist work that was kinda inspired by Jenny Holzer, and Barbara Kruger – and, you know, we were taking these photo classes and, when we would bring in our work, we were treated like we were crazy. I made work about sexism. […] Because my work was censored from the college, we started an art gallery in like, an old garage. And it was called Reko Muse, and it was like a feminist art space that me and my friends started."

on top of being a space for feminist art, spoken word, and photography, the studio also held as a venue that hosted all-ages shows; included were Nirvana, Amy Carter, The Go Team, Viva Knievel, The Melvins, and Seaweed. the studio can most famously be seen on the cover of Nirvana's 1989 debut album, Bleach, taken by Tracy Marander.

(3: Kathleen Hanna: "Flier I made in very early 90s. A benefit for the feminist art space we ran", 4.)

although the space only lasted for 3 years, it was Bikini Kill's first rehearsal space, and kathleen hanna's first shows played live. i wish i could find more information and accounts of it from the little i have :)

founded in 1991, the space has been converted to a youth center for trans and queer kids. <3

Asked how the ridiculous movie Viva Knievel (1977) came about, Evel Knievel explained, "Five years ago I wrote this picture. It was called Evel Knievel in Mexico. And I did it because a young man who was working for me had his mind scrambled on LSD."
