ABOUT THE EXHIBITIONISTS: The Exhibitionists are New York City-based professional
women artists, writers, dancers and performers who host monthly salons in pursuit
of fresh dialogue about the arts and produce events that unite the visual, written
and performing arts.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Emily Bicht – uses
text from and imagery inspired by antique etiquette books,
housekeeping guides and cookbooks to explore feminist and
personal identity in her current work.
Robyn Desposito - has been working on a series of paintings based on
the uncontrollability of rage, and the cycle of provocation and reaction that
perpetuates throughout women's outward expression of anger.
Nikki Johnson - devotes a large part of her photographic work between
what she terms "passive-aggressive portraiture” and images that explore
her personal identity. Inga Poslitur - in deriving her inspiration from the beauty
of nature, she uses watercolor to make "the colors sing" and share
her awe of life.
Amy Tamayo - in creating small, simple, celebratory drawings of color
escaping the object on to the rest of the world, her new project moves to the
idea of diffusion and infusion of color, light, and smell.
Elizabeth Dotson-Westphalen and Hot & Silver Jazz
- trio Elizabeth Dotson-Westphalen (vocals
and trombone), Paul Sanwald (guitar),
and Dan Schlessinger (saxophones),
and Apostolos Sideris (bass) interprets
jazz standards and mixes in a few originals. For program
schedules, for press and other information, please

SPURA - Map and Petition Online
If you oppose the current plans for
the Seward Park Urban Renewal Area (SPURA), which proposes
mostly housing, with little economic development, you can
voice your opposition by signing an electronic
petition to Mayor Bloomberg (courtesy of The Lower
East Side Action Committee).
A shareholder at E. River - and professional
illustrator - has drawn a map of

Village cooperatives.
