Privacy Please! Curated by Erin Riley-Lopez and Annette Rusin 



A.I.R. Gallery is pleased to announce Privacy Please!, a group exhibition co-curated by Erin Riley-Lopez and Annette Rusin. The exhibit will take place at A.I.R.'s Gallery II from November 2 through November 26, 2011. An opening reception will take place on Thursday, November 3, from 6pm to 9pm. 


Privacy Please! explores how women artists express private grooming rituals in their work. During the second wave of the modern feminist movement in the 1970's, female scholars questioned notions of beauty and how its perception was often linked to social standards. 
The fourteen artists in this exhibition use ideas of transformation, their own childhood, or more conceptual ideas of beauty, and employ a wide range of media to explore private grooming rituals. 


The exhibition includes the work of: Becca Albee, Firelei Báez,  Anjali Bhargava,  Louisa  Flannery,  Teri Frame,  Carrie  Johnson,  Kathleen Kranack,  Jessica Lagunas,  Rosemary Mez Desplas,  Betsy Odom,  Jessica  Scott-­‐Felder,  Samantha Senack,  Jaun  Quick-to‐See Smith, and Ellen Wetmore.
