Lena Rushing Explores the Power of Female Identity
March 1, 2014 - Guardian Stewardship Editions
Throughout the long history of art, fashion, and popular culture, most representations of women depict the female form as an object of desire—whether the subject is an eroticized odalisque in a nineteenth-century painting or a hyper-sexualized model, actress, or singer on a twenty-first-century magazine or album cover. Fortunately, a few superheroes of the art world—writers, performers, illustrators, painters—have used the very platform of art to expose the sexism and inequality often found lurking beneath its gilded surface.
Sipping and strolling through Paso Robles' downtown
March 11, 2014 - San Jose Mercury News
There's no doubt about the joy of winery-hopping your way down the Central Coast. But if you're pressed for time -- or prefer to mix a little shopping and noshing in with the sipping -- downtown Paso Robles packs an abundance of charm into just a few square blocks. Bistros, shops and more than a dozen wine-tasting rooms surround the city's downtown square, site of wine festivals, art fairs, summer concerts and, we're told, a twinkle-lit Victorian Christmas fete attended by the Snow Queen, Ebenezer Scrooge and, of course, the Clauses.
SAVAGES
February 28, 2014 - Paso Robles Press, A2
Second group show to showcase more innovative art than ever
Noble savages
February 27, 2014 - New Times - Volume 28, Issue 31
No, we’re not talking about the misguided spirit of primitivism here, but a whole new beast: the second annual “Savages” show at Studios on the Park in Paso Robles, curated by local wild man and friend of New Times Neal Breton. The show features the work of the eponymous loose collective of young (teens to thirties) and “emerging” California artists whose media range from film to canvas, spray paint to skin. Plein air they ain’t, but definitely a breath of fresh air. “Savages” opens on March 1 with an opening reception from 6 to 9 p.m. and runs through March 30. Call 238-9800 or visit studiosonthepark.org for more information.
