Margaret Harrison: #4 on Artlyst's Top Feminist Artist List

/

Several recent articles about Margaret Harrison and "On Reflection: the Art of Margaret Harrison" in the media:

Artlyst's "Top 10 Feminist Artists" : http://www.artlyst.com/top10/feminist-artists

Michael Dooley of Print Magazine on my book "On Reflection": "As police once forced Harrison’s gallery owner to remove her paintings, the book’s author, Kim Munson, had been forced by Apple not long ago to remove “objectionable” cartoons from an underground comix history iPhone app she’d produced [story here]. This and other commonalities, such as a shared passion for workers’ rights, make Munson’s accompanying commentary and interviews with the artist empathetic and engaging as well as informative."

Dooley's article was also picked up by Heidi McDonald on The Beat (http://www.comicsbeat.com/kibbles-n-bits-11116-96-comics-artists-draw-david-bowie/).

Dual Views - SF Labor Landmarks at SFSU

/

Dual Views: Labor Landmarks of San Francisco, a project featuring the landscape photography of Wendy Crittenden & Tom Griscom, was on view at the SFSU library gallery 3/19 - 8/7 2015. The exhibition catalog is still available on Blurb & iTunes. Our related feature on Places Journal, The Fight for San Francisco, was selected by CityLab as one of the best articles about urban space of the week. Several SFSU classes viewed the exhibit, and we appreciate everyone's support. We'd like to thank Catherine Powell, Director of LARC and Nancy Arms Simon, SFSU's installer, for making the show look great. 

We are actively looking for other venues to host this exhibit, please contact Kim if you know of a gallery that would be a good match.
