Julia Kunin’s work has developed in many ways since I first encountered it in the early 90’s. Her “Red Suede Saddles” from 1993, is probably the piece that most people associate with Julia. The saddles are actual size, and the color and shape relate to or conjure female genitalia in a most sensual [...]

Last week, I was riding the 4 train on the way to work while leafing through a GoNYC, glancing over the news items. Then, I saw an old friend’s picture — a friend from my Boston days. I, of course, did a double-take, because this friend — an Irish pacifist, beer-drinker, animal-lover — was dressed [...]

I was psyched to see the opening of “Modified Eros: A Photographic Celebration of Body Modification” at Arena Studios this weekend, curated by Audacia Ray and featuring photography from BellaVendetta.com.

If you were an indie folk-pop musician with designs to make a concept album for each of the 50 states, and one day BAM offered you a commission to write a symphony for the 25th annual Next Wave Festival, what would you do?

On Novemeber 10th and 11th, feminists of all ages will gather at Hunter College for a landmark conference. The conference, entitled Freedom On Our Terms is being organized by the Bella Abzug Leadership Institute (BALI) which is headed up by Liz Abzug, the lesbian daugther of the legendary Bella who 30 years ago [...]

Amy Cook has a gorgeous CD out right now called The Sky Observer’s Guide. She’s on Leisha Hailey’s newbie label so maybe that’s some incentive for you to check it out. Whatever gets you there. It’s moody and kick-ass in the same way that the best Lucinda Williams work is, but Amy has a softer, [...]

Uh Huh Her were due to play in Los Angeles on October 26th. My faithful sidekick, warrior photographer, Nico and I headed gamely to the Knitting Factory in the hopes that after a night of great music, we could somehow ambush the stage and get an interview.
