Sm{art}: The Disarming Catherine Eyde

Art and Design post by Deb Jannerson on May 18, 2011 - 11:19am; tagged art, fairy tales, fantasy, female artists, science fiction, sm{art}.

Smart Blog Logo: orange and pink letters spell out the word smart

I fall more in love with the work of Catherine Eyde every time I look at her art. Her colorful renditions of women, creatures and landscapes both ordinary and fantastical walk the line between twee and haunting, like a gorgeous, uneasy mixture of Grimm's fairy tales, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and feminist sci-fi.

Sm{art}: Swooning for Swoon

Art and Design post by Kristin Rogers Brown on March 2, 2011 - 9:35pm; tagged art, female artist, smart, street art, Swoon.

Smart Blog Logo

Swoon works in a combination of wheat-paste and paper cutout to create life-sized, figurative and graphic street art with strength and femininity. While a great deal of her work has been done outside the confines of a gallery, she was classically trained as a painter before adopting street art techniques.

The artist formerly known as Caledonia Curry studied painting at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and started doing street art around 1999 at age 19. She's also a member of the Justseeds Artists' Cooperative, a grass-roots, decentralized group of artists who believe in art as both personal expression and collective action. This group contributes graphics to struggles for justice, both in the studio and on the streets, collaboratively and individually, all over North America.

Sm{art}: Carolee Schneemann in Portland Feb. 17

Art and Design post by Kristin Rogers Brown on February 16, 2011 - 11:22am; tagged art, Carolee Schneemann, performance art, smart.

Smart Blog Logo

Tomorrow night in Portland (Thursday, February 17 at 7:00 PM), renowned artist Carolee Schneemann will give a free performance lecture at PCC's Performing Arts Center on the Sylvania Campus. A product of the 1960s-70's New York art scene, her work challenged, shocked, and forced her audience to think about their reaction to women's bodies and feelings about physicality, often with her own body as part of the composition.

Bibliobitch: Of Lamb

Books post by Lindsay Baltus on January 5, 2011 - 2:55pm; tagged amy jean porter, art, erasure poetry, matthea harvey.

I'm super excited for Of Lamb, the new book from poet Matthea Harvey and artist Amy Jean Porter, so although it hasn't been published yet I thought I'd share a sneak peek. The book is one long erasure poem by Harvey accompanied by beautiful and weirdly funny illustrations by Porter. More about erasure, plus illustrations from the book, after the jump!

Bitch Radio: The Make-Believe Podcast

Audio post by Kjerstin Johnson on October 28, 2010 - 4:48pm; tagged art, Comedy, LARP, podcasts, riot grrl.
Fresh off the harddrive, this episode of Bitch Radio features women from the Make-Believe issue of Bitch! If you’re into women who make pop-culture collage art (say, Sonja Ahlers, author/artist of The Selves), who make it in Hollywood sans plastic surgery or selling out (I'm talking about the hilarious Jamie Denbo of Ronna and Beverly, Weeds, and Best Buds), who document the riot grrl movement (maybe Sara Marcus, author of Girls to the Front), or who use what most people consider a nerdy pastime for social change (like LARPing expert and player Sarah Bowman), then you should not miss this podcast! Plus it features music from Twin Sister, whose latest EP, Color Your Life is available from Infinite Beat records and they are currently on tour with the Morning Benders.

Sm{art}: Craft-ivists on Etsy

Art and Design post by Katie Presley on October 27, 2010 - 3:03pm; tagged activism, activist women, art, crafting, diy, etsy.

No, not that kind of craftivism (although my fingers are crossed for that vulva necklace this Hanukkah). This week I'm all about Etsy's growing community of world-saving vendors; whether they're sustainable in their work practices, donate money from each sale to charitable organizations, or print their politics right on their products, these crafters make activism an art.

Sm{art}: Hungry Eyeball's "Buzz"

Art and Design post by Erica Steckl on October 20, 2010 - 12:38pm; tagged art, Chelsea Fletcher, Rebecca Artemisa, sm{art}.
Buzz-Hungry-Eyeball"Buzz" is a current art show curated by Hungry Eyeball installed inside Tender Loving Empire, an impressively multi-tasking collective. "Buzz" contains works by five Portland, Oregon based artists: Chelsea Fletcher, Amy Ruppel, Rebecca Artemisa, Kinoko and Wesley Younie. Although it is too late to see Y La Bamba play an intimate show for the opening night (darn it!), it is fortunately not too late to see the art. "Buzz" will be in the Tender Loving Empire gallery until November 2nd.

More after the jump!
