Thank to everyone who entered work for the 4 national WCA exhibition opportunities. Below are results from 3 of the 4. We are waiting on results for the Video Festival and will post them when we receive them.
Hidden Cities
Artists were invited to explore their idea of their Hidden City, real or imagined, in an array of media, with the theme broadly interpreted from an activist, political or personal context. We asked them to convince the viewer of its viability, a live space filled with passion and imagination! “No matter our place in society, we all have our Hidden City, a place of refuge from gender, race, class and sexual exclusions, a place that shapes the feminist viewpoint. Some cities, like wrapped boxes, conceal unexpected gifts, others are riddles and lyrical abstractions. These are performative spaces where we may imagine retribution for injustices, righting wrongs or conversely, delving into the dark side.”
From over 894 pieces by 363 artists, the juror, Lisa Phillips, Director of the New Museum, NYC, had the daunting task to choose the 48 pieces of work by 43 artists in the exhibition and catalog. I would like to thank Lisa for her time and vision. I also want to thank the members of the national exhibition committee who worked so diligently to pull off this exhibition. A special thank you to National Exhibition Chair Karen Gutfreund for her leadership, creativity, drive ..and for the many hours she put in to make this exhibition a success.

The concept of LIVE SPACE is twofold: first, it describes art that is happening in the moment, and second, art that is energetic, stimulating and electric. LIVE SPACE will be happening not only all over NEW YORK CITY, but also in cities across the COUNTRY through blogging, YouTube, Twitter, and live feeds. From live feeds for the Lifetime Achievement Awards and the LIVE SPACE gala, to performance art on YouTube, to live art happenings in front of the Hilton, this WCA Conference will be in the moment, exciting and electric.
To register visit nationalwca.org

8am-12pm - WCA Live Space Confab
Hilton New York Hotel, New York Suite, 4th floor
A morning of networking, sharing our work, performances, videos, and panels. The space will be divided up into different sections to allow for activities to happen simultaneously in the vein of 'live space.'' The morning will include an art share, art making, a preview of FEMLINK videos, performance art by Young WCA, and a
'Feminist Tea Party'. Tentative Schedule (This schedule is still being finalized.)
8-9 am – Viewing of the FEMLINK videos, Art Share, KISS art project and networking
9-10 am – New York Chapter meeting, art share, KISS art project and networking
10-11:50 am – The Curate's Stand: A Curator's Tea Party — A Feminist Tea Party collective will host a panel discussion. Curated by Yulia Tikhonova, a Moscow-born, New York-based curator. Panelists: K8 Hardy, a New York-based filmmaker, photographer and fashionista, founder of the queer feminist art collective LTTR, creator of the cult zine FashionFashion and, Paddy Johnson a writer who has been published in artreview.com, Art in America, FlashArt, Print Magazine, TimeOut NY, The Reeler, The Daily Beast, The Huffington Post, The Guardian, artkrush, Art & Australia, Flavorpill, NYFA Current, The New York Press, and Fanzine. Beacons of artistic concerns, these panelists will share the observations of a wide spectrum of references which women use. Defined on one side by Sarah Palin's conservative preaching, on another side - by the sexually unbounded empowerment of Lady Gaga, what are the models that contemporary artists use and how they navigate through the "rampant multiplicities of identity." The panelist will present their assessment of challenges that women-artists face to sustain critical feminist productivity in the context when the challenging aspects of queer representation in popular culture has been erased. The panel will be held within the settings of traditional tea party parlor (complete with table linens, porcelain tea service and sweets) which will be large enough to accommodate the audience and the guest curators. Like at any meal or celebration this homogeneous environment will help to create an open comfortable dialogue where the audience doesn't feel like an audience, but where everyone is equal. Sincerity and a sense of humor are required for attendance.
12:30-2pm - “Live Space: women, art and activism” panel
CAA Hilton New York Hotel, Rendezvous Trianon, 3rd Floor
Moderator: C. M. Judge, intermedia artist, Panelists: Carolee Schneemann, media artist, Elizabeth Streb, Director of STREB Lab for Action Mechanics, and Veronique Sapin, video artist, Artistic Director of Video Arts Development International Association
Drawing inspiration from works created by our panelists and from the collective wisdom of the audience, we will consider how women artists and their communities create vital, meaningful aesthetic experiences that initiate and sustain authentic change in response to issues of limitation, exclusion, legitimacy, and hierarchy. If “live space” is the goal, what qualities of artistic expression and community building produce compelling, transformative art experiences/spaces? In a world filled with instant communication, where/how does essential creative intimacy happen? What conditions are necessary to enhance effective art activism?
9am-4pm - A KNIT-IN

"on our own volition"
Artists: Amanda Moyer, J.R. DeMers, Susie Danielson, Stephanie Trevino, Amanda Mears, Dawn Hiltz
Description: Women have traditionally gathered to discuss their desires, their passions, changes they want in the world, and their lives. Women have congregated around watering holes, in kitchens, in bathrooms, over quilts, and at tea tables, just to name a few. Six ladies from Finlandia University will be gathering together in the Raandesk Gallery to discuss their wants and desires for their lives and the world through narrative movement and sound.
"Spoken For"
Artists: Marina Kelly, Megan Katz Spoken
Description: For features women's intimate stories of want, using live performance and video projection in a multi-media exploration of women's desires as expressed via male voices. "Requesting Access" is collaborative photo shoot performance by Chanel Matsunami Govreau (played by Asian Barbie), photographer Martin Solheim and makeup/hair artist Tamara Qabazard. This performance layers the exaggeration of cultural costuming over questionably (un)real storytelling. This is combined with the friction and vanity of flash photography to explore multiracial identity and gender in interracial relationships as it combines with expectations of sexuality and its possible profit.
