										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This Saturday, Woman Made Gallery will be hosting a final Artists Walkthrough before the close of the show. Artists Anne-Joelle Tan, Cindy Fonseca, Liuxing Johnston, Carisa Mitchell, Jaana Baker, and Kelsey Bogdan will be in attendance. Take this opportunity to engage with these fabulous artists and ask questions!</p>
<p>Age of the Bimbo is a group exhibition juried by Melissa Mursch-Rodriguez (she/her) who is an artist, curator, and founder of “Moody Zine.” This exhibition celebrates the bimbo — exploring hyper-femininity as a tool for empowerment and putting self-pleasure first.</p>
<p>Girlbosses are out, bimbos are in! But the new bimbo isn’t dumb; she’s empowered, utilizing beauty to get ahead by being underestimated and putting her pleasure first. There is careful thought behind bimbology, taking the male gaze that’s been unavoidable since birth and using it to create a caricature through the performance of vanity and cluelessness. The bimbo uses our culture’s idea of intelligence – rooted in patriarchal, racist, and ableist norms – and uses it to gain whatever she wants. A self-aware bimbo is everything men want visually whilst also being everything they hate: self-aware, sexually empowered, politically conscious, and beyond. Bimbos have unlocked these facts: both intelligence and attractiveness are flimsy constructs that are regularly wielded against femmes, people of color, and neurodivergent people. Reverse the fetishization of femininity and embrace your bimboism!</p>
<p>Juror melissa murch-rodriguez says, “As I faced the challenge of narrowing down all of the incredible work submitted to Age of the Bimbo, pink became an aesthetic guide for the show. From there, I wanted as many brands of bimbo represented as possible. What does it look like to be a non-binary bimbo? A country bimbo? A Black, Brown, or Asian bimbo? Even a sea monster bimbo? These unique bimbos are accompanied by works celebrating sex, tits, and glits in direct contrast to works questioning how the male gaze and capitalism bleed into bimbology. Age of the Bimbo simultaneously celebrates the ability to critique and reclaim the bimbo archetype all while covered in glitter.”</p>

<p>About the juror: melissa mursch-rodriguez (she/her) is a milwaukee-based creative whose practice exists between the realms of fiber arts, zinemaking, poetry, and curatorial programming. She finds herself at the intersections of race, sexuality, and gender as a mixed chicana queer woman. In her work, she hopes to address these intersections that give her simultaneously shared and disparate experiences mirroring and speaking to those with overlapping and different identities than her own. Regardless of the vehicle used, she hopes to share her identities and vulnerabilities, as well as platform those of others in hopes of creating community and connection.</p>
<p>In 2020 mursch-rodriguez founded the bi-monthly zine publication Moody. Moody is made up of paid artist contributions emphasizing queer and BIPOC creatives. Featured artists share not only images of work, but stories, poems, notes on their creative process, QR codes to online content, and anything else that can be put on a page. She also continues writing and performing poetry, curating and facilitating artist sales and events, and works as a senior admissions counselor at the milwaukee institute of art &amp; design.</p>

<p>Woman Made Gallery is turning 30! WMG was founded in 1992, marking 2022 the 30th Anniversary of Chicago’s longest operating feminist art gallery<b>. </b>We are thrilled to announce the exhibition titled <b>Generations </b>will be on view from June 11 – July 16, 2022.</p>
<p>Generations is an exhibition celebrating the past, and envisioning the future of WMG and its values. Through this exhibition, WMG asked alumnae artists to reflect back upon the importance of feminist art space in their art practices, careers and relationships. Art in this exhibition speaks of motherhood and the right to choice, the nuances of intersectional thought and ways in which women hold hands to build each other up.  A deep dive into the gallery’s past arrived up to moments of witness into activism, rebellion, the need for rest and the abundance of wealth when it comes to community and connections.</p>
<p>41 alumni artists of 30 years of the gallery have come together in this exhibition to build a narrative of support, evolution, courage and solidarity.</p>
<p>Juried by committee, WMG decided to bring two of our programming committee members Vice President Jae Green and Programming Intern Marisa Miles to understand and direct this exhibition.</p>
<p><b><i>“</i></b><i>This is a time to consider-what we find and bring with us from our history and what we provide for our future-for the next thirty years of art and artists at WMG.”</i></p>
<p><em>Jae Green, Vice President of the Board, WMG Gallery. </em></p>
<p><em>“Generations insists on a cumulative lineage where pieces of one’s ancestral connection informs its present being. Woman Made is a gallery built on generations of woman and non-binary artists visualizing the progression of feminism through a lens informed by one’s collective experience.”</em></p>
<p><em>Marisa Miles, Gallery Intern, Programming  </em></p>
<p><strong>Exhibiting Artists:</strong></p>
<p>Robin Adsit, Helena Baka, Jenny E. Balisle, Jamie Bernstein, Monica J. Brown, Pamela Callahan, Yvette L. Cummings, Frederica Diane, Helen Geglio, Felicia Grant Preston, Payton Harris-Woodard, Deborah Hirshfield, Leslie A.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At the conclusion of one full year of pandemic conditions, the parameters of how we live and move through the world have drastically changed. This exhibition considers the magnitude of this particular moment, as well as conceptual dimensions and negotiations of boundaries broadly, and as particularly experienced by women and non-binary individuals.<br />
In her juror’s statement, Whitney LaMora shares: The opportunity to jury a show under the theme of “Boundaries” in a space dedicated to women and non-binary individuals at the precipice of emerging from a global pandemic is really exceptional. As the reality of what each individual’s new normal would look like set in over the past year, boundaries had to be discovered, set, and considered within our new modalities. While the world was devastated by the pandemic, women became a particular target. Women took the hit when it came to job loss, the massive uptick in at-home responsibility, and the additional pressure of being an emotional centerpoint of so many lives and families. Trans women and non-binary individuals continued to experience disrespect, violence, and instability while watching governments continue to entertain laws that removed their already thin protections. These experiences rang loud and clear in the submissions for this exhibition. Artists spoke of gender identity, motherhood, the healthcare system, the body, physical space, mental health and an incredible amount of nuances in between. I hope the juried exhibition is a sufficient representation of all the rage, heartbreak, frustration, and work that women and non-binary people face every day. Boundaries may feel impossible to set, but as we can see by these powerful works, they are imperative to daily survival.</p>
