Life Blood Exhibit is a group art show curated by Jennifer Weigel and themed around
menstruation that will travel to various venues throughout the St. Louis metro region
from 2010 – 2011 and then travel nationally from 2011 – 2012. Each showing will
highlight different artists in the group.
Current Calendar:
Friday, April 9, 2010, 7 – 10 PM: Fort Gondo, preview party kickoff
previews of the exhibition, silent auction, installation by Jennifer Weigel
June 2010: St. Louis Community College - Florissant-Valley
reception: Thursday, June 10, 6 – 8 PM
August – September 2010: Washington University Medical School
By drawing attention to the female body and to the menstrual cycle, artists are able to
comment on this life-giving aspect of womanhood and to celebrate and/or show their
discontent with their own bodies & cycles. We are able to offer commentary on
experience, confront stereotypes & assumptions and educate one another about things
too often left unsaid. Thus we can explore the positive & negative to turn around
preconceptions and help break the taboo surrounding menstruation.
