What Not to Say
[Written March 2023 & submitted to something that did not happen; it seems apropos now] What not to say to a sixty-ish woman whose university announced it will be closing the end of the academic year: Are you scared? I’d be an idiot if I weren’t. Will you be looking for another job? Do you…

Conjuring the Spirit World #Salem
A quick jaunt to Salem to meet up with art partner in crime QoE AKA Stephanie just so we could see this exhibit: Conjuring the Spirit World: Art, Magic and Mediums. It was so much fun and if you have a chance to go, be sure to do so! We loved it and got so…

London: Yoko, Before
Okay, so I did not post about my first visit to Yoko at the Tate Modern. Or any of the other exhibits I saw last February and they were great. In my defence, there has been a lot going on this past year. I know many of you are in the same boat. But I…
London: Yoko, Again
Yes, again. I would go many times if I could but I could really only squeeze in one more time this short trip. If you are thinking of dropping by be warned, it’s closing the end of the month! I looked at different things this time (I did write it up before, didn’t I? I’ll…
#NowYouSeeUs @ Tate B
Following on the success of Women in Revolt, the Tate B has installed an exhibit of women artists in Britain from the 16th century to the present. Not all the periods are of interest to me but I am wholeheartedly celebrating a belated — and hopefully not singular — recognition of the work of women…
