SLAC ABROAD

Just as this thread was going off I had a weird Sydney Ladies experience - but as the other's are SLAC members I can't claim it as a SLAC event.


I went to the Femininst future Symposium at MOMA which was like a MEGA SLAC - it was BIG - and full of famous old feminists and famous young ones and lots of artists.....

It was awe instpiring - even the nutty bits. Even the really lame 'vagina dialogues' imporomtu performance reading of bad irigarayan style dated angst by two chelsea curators wearing pink fluffy boas and pink tulle shawls. that was so lame it was AWESOME. and very nutty. Orlan was there, but she left at that point....

and at the cocktail soiree afterwards I met Tania Chaly - who was at artspace smae time as new day project and Eugenia Raskopoulos -and we had a very Sydney artie feminist moment.

so I reckon SLAC lives - it's in that spirit of female artists coming together to gossip, network and make crazy plans and there's lots of us doing that - and when people get over the summer slackness there'll be more postings and events...

and I'd REALLY Like to get a big fat female/feminist sydney art herstory shebang happening sometime when i'm stressing a little less about my thesis.....
