Fat Free Art Gallery Bigs Up Female Street Artists In ‘Fem-Is-In’ Exhibit

March 18, 2017. 1 Comment

This week, Manhattan’s Fat Free Art gallery opened a very dope “Fem-Is-In” exhibit, a collection of paintings, photography, collage, and typography by female painters and photographers, as curated by mural artist Alice Mizrachi.

The show includes work by Mizrachi along with Diana McClure, Gilf, Jane Dickson, Janette Beckman, Lady Pink, Martha Cooper, Queen Andrea and Swoon, all of whom have worked rooted in street art.

As reflected in the title, the exhibit is also underpinned by the artists’ shared belief in and ongoing fight for equal access, not a small point of inspiration in street art, a genre known for being particularly female-unfriendly. “The exhibition title references the currently popular wave of woman-led activism, as well as women who have been steadily claiming their own ground for centuries, sometimes alone and sometimes collectively,” reads press on the event.

The “Fem-Is-In” exhibit opened on March 16th and is now open to the public. Fat Free Art is located at 102 Allen Street in Manhattan. Visit the gallery’s site for more info on the artists along with hours.

Check out some of our images from opening night below.

Scathing 5,400-word report via The Cut's Tahirah H Scathing 5,400-word report via The Cut's Tahirah Hairston on Kerby Jean-Raymond whose label Pyer Moss appears to no longer be operational. 

Check out an excerpt below. 

Ten years in, Jean-Raymond’s star has only risen. He hangs out with celebrities (Tracee Ellis Ross, Brent Faiyaz), made a cameo on Insecure, and drives flashy cars (a McLaren 720S, an Aston Martin Superleggera, a Porsche GT3 RS). Meanwhile, his brand is nearly nonexistent.

There is no Pyer Moss boutique. The clothing celebrated on the runway was mostly not available to anybody who didn’t have a celebrity stylist to pull it for them, and company insiders complained that quality control was so uneven that at times what was produced was too flawed to be sold. Jean-Raymond sometimes missed deadlines, didn’t always pay bills, started other projects, and alienated allies. He referred to Pyer Moss as an “art project” and seemed reluctant to make practical choices. Among the fashion insiders who had cheered his rise, there has been a growing feeling that he has wasted an opportunity to build something important.

The last straw for many of his early supporters was his couture show in July 2021. Titled “WAT U IZ,” and put on in the U.S. during Paris Couture Week, it was a tribute to the various innovations that Black people have been responsible for, often without credit. The models came down the runway decked out in a jar of peanut butter and a traffic light. A lot of it wasn’t really clothing, much less couture. Even if the professional critics and other members of the fashion press seemed hesitant to publicly express their disappointment, they whispered among each other that he’d lost the plot of his brand.
