Another show!
Will have a pop-up this Friday in Morgantown at the Spring Arts Walk!:
Lots and lots of new drawings and prints...
Saturday, April 6, 2019 at 7 PM â 9 PM The Black Cat Market5171 Butler Street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15201
Bringing my art back to Pittsburgh!Â
Come join us for our April art opening! Every month we will host local artists and their work. This month we will be featuring art from Sally Deskins! "Artist Sally Brown Deskins shares her recent body prints and small figurative drawings honoring feminist artists who came before her. In her body prints, Deskins, inspired by Yves Kleinâs Anthropometries but with feminist intent as model, director and artist, prints her womanly body in various hues and scripts quotes from feminist artists over and around them, in order to remember their contribution. In an act recognizing their potential ill fate to history and the fact that just this artwork will not be enough (as other artists have attempted as well), she erases the quotes. Their names are left in the titles with open-ended parenthesis for hope. In her smaller, unassuming drawings, her line self-portraits are coupled with small mini-replications of famous feminist artworks, as art-within-art, paying tribute to feminist artists before her in a subtle, cool way. Deskins will also show some of her works from her What Will Her Kids Think? Series of drawings and body prints on motherhood and the body." https://www.instagram.com/sallery_art/ Doors at 7PM / drinks will be available for purchase. Unlimited cat room time during the event can be purchased for $5. If you're interested in displaying your art in the future, please email [email protected]

She Came Before Me: Solo exhibit at Biddleâs Escape, Pittsburgh
Super excited to show some of my new work, small drawings and body prints, dedicated to women and feminist artists at Biddleâs Escape in Pittsburgh. Iâll also bring some of my work from What Will Her Kids Think? series exploring motherhood and the body.
From the Biddleâs Escape FB Page: Biddleâs Escape, 401 Biddle Ave, Wilkinsburg, PA Feb. 2-March 2, 2019
Opening Reception Feb 2, 12-1pm
Artist Sally Brown Deskins shares her recent body prints and small figurative drawings honoring feminist artists who came before her. In her body prints, Deskins, appropriating Yves Klein's 'Anthropometries' as model, director and artist, prints her womanly body in various hues and scripts quotes from feminist artists over and around them, in order to remember their contribution. In an act recognizing their potential ill fate to history and the fact that just this artwork will not be enough (as other artists have attempted as well), she erases the quotes. Their names are left in the titles with open-ended parenthesis for hope. In her smaller, unassuming drawings, her line self-portraits are coupled with small mini-replications of famous feminist artworks, as art-within-art, paying tribute to feminist artists before her in a subtle, cool way. Deskins will also show some of her works from her What Will Her Kids Think? Series of drawings and body prints on motherhood and the body.

My zine in Duke & Columbia Libraries
In 2013, I collaborated with artist and zinemaker Scott Blake to create a zine around my series that year, âWhat Will Her Kids Think?â around motherhood, the body and womanhood. I know, super cool and honored to work with this amazing artist on this. He does stellar, provocative important work both solo and with several other amazing artists.
I just realized our zines are now in the Columbia University and Duke University Libraries collections--amazing! We only made 20 and they went quick, but you can check them out at these national collections.Â
Some of my other books--Intimates and Fools, Leaves of Absence, and Les Femmes Folles, are also included in various Libraries. As âWhat Will Her Kids Think?â is an intimate and very significant work of mine Iâm truly honored to have it in such fine collection.
The zines, before they were gone! in 2013. Covers were each originally body printed.

BARE form exhibit @ MAC
Super excited to be participating again in the Monongalia Art Centerâs annual BARE form exhibit, Nov. 2-30. I submit one of my most recent drawings in my continued âArt Time Mamaâ series of collaborations with my kids. My most recent ones have unfinished lines, pointing to an unfinished life. I like how it looks, the beauty of the unfinished, add your own lines, and it adds to my raw style and life.
Hereâs the link to the exhibit!:Â Â

Desperate Artwives at Platform 1 Gallery
Super stoked to have two of my âArt Time Mamaâ series in the upcoming Desperate Artwives pop-up exhibit at Platform 1 Gallery during the Wandsworth Open House in the UK in October! Hereâs one of them. Super fun!

Thrilled to have this collaborative mixed media âArt Time Mama (Infinity)â accepted into Women of Appalachia Art Projectâs traveling exhibit series this fall/spring~
My work is nontraditional, raw and seemingly unfinished--though this is half purposeful (motherhood and artistry are always unfinished; and against the tradition of the pristine large realistically rendered âartâ which most people think of) and half due to my reality of raw and unfinished-ness. I can work artworks to death but they still give off this feeling. It is not for everyone and Iâm honored Women of Appalachia appreciated it, and honored to have art alongside so many tremendous Appalachian artists who happen to be women - https://www.womenofappalachia.com/exhibit-artists
Student reaction to guest lecture on feminist art... #whyilovewomenartists
I wrote about guest-lecturing for a feminist theory class a few weeks ago, with regard to fluid feminist art (http://femmesfollesnebraska.tumblr.com/post/172271515522/whyilovewomenartists-fluid-feminism).
As mentioned, I got to talk feminist art with Womenâs and Gender Studies students who werenât necessarily well-versed on art and feminist art (to me they go hand in hand!). Not only had they not heard of Judy Chicagoâs The Dinner Party, but not Womanhouse, either. (If you arenât familiar, either, please, click on the links and be awakened ;) For a summary of my view on The Dinner Party read my article for Artslant.)
The professor kindly just sent me a student response from the end-of-semester course survey, which, after a quiet class who didnât seem to respond to my presentation/discussion, made it soo worth it! :
The class about The Dinner Party excited meâŚbecause I had never heard of Judy Chicago or her feminist art before (fun fact-Judy Chicago is one of Time magazineâs 100 most influential people this year). I became temporarily obsessed with The Dinner Party and learned everything I could about it, read critiques of the work, and looked at all available photos of the plates. This taught me about awesome feminist art! Something that struck me during that discussion was when our speaker said that a vast majority of nude images are female, but the renowned artists that depict the nude female body are male.
Someone listened and even did their own research!! Thanks to Judy Chicago and all the feminists artists who make work to discuss and inspire. For this post Iâll show some images from Womanhouse⌠All text and images from womanhouse.net.

LINEN CLOSET

As one woman visitor to my room commented, âThis is exactly where women have always beenâin between the sheets and on the shelf.â Â It is time now to come out of the closet.

THE KITCHEN
Robin Weltsch
The soft skin of a kitchen pink Is openers, strainers, blenders Is cups, pots and hot ovens Is boxes, cans and glass packages Is faucets and nippled knobs A toaster, juicer and waffler All pink skinned How would you like your eggs done this morning?

BRIDAL STAIRCASE
Kathy Huberland
When I was young I had a belief that the White Knight would come and carry me off to eternal protected bliss. Â I lived with this fantasy and did not think too far beyond a dreamy white wedding day. Â My piece deals with the not so dreamy reality that, for most women, lies beyond that wedding day. Â The bride is portrayed as an offeringâencased in gaiety, in lace, in flowers, in dreamy sky blue. Â As the bride descends the stairs the blue slowly changes to gray and the brideâs failure to look clearly at where she is going leaves her up against the wall.
- Kathy Huberland
CROCHETED ENVIRONMENT
Faith Wilding
Our female ancestors first build themselves and their families round-shaped shelters. Â These were protective environments, often woven out of grasses, braches or weeds. Â I think of my environment as linked in form and feeling with those primitive womb-shelters, but with the added freedom of not being functional.

Stellar review by Linda Rosefsky for SECAC Online Reviews, of an exhibit Iâm currently included in alongside artists Martyna Matusiak and Kelly Keifer at The Diamond Shop in Morgantown. She writes:Â
âSally Deskinsâ playfully sensual Working Mother(Reflecting on Silliness, Three Bodies in Air to Infinity) (2017) features impressions of the artistâs body in black and magenta acrylic on Mylar (Full Disclosure: Deskins is volunteer managing editor for SECAC Online Exhibits Reviews.). Thighs, bellies, and breasts appear to soar against a reflective silver ground. Is Deskins inviting us to shed the restraints of the past and question how we view our own bodies? â
Thanks Linda!!
I am so honored to be a part of the Women of Appalachia Fine Art exhibit this fall/winter/spring! I have three pieces in the traveling exhibit which is currently at the Parkersburg Art Center in Parkersburg, WV through Dec. 24; then on to Ohio University in Athens in January and so on (schedule here -Â https://www.womenofappalachia.com/events)...
I was thrilled to hear my body print, above left, âTribute to Wanda Ewing (Being a woman artist...â was sold on the opening night in Parkersburg!
Just a reminder Iâm open to body print commissions with colors, themes, etc. and any other ideas! Get in touch. [email protected].Â

âThe Dinner Partyââbeloved and maligned as it isâhas long been misunderstood. Two new exhibitions look back to its creation to recontextualize the iconic work.
LFF editor Sally Deskins writes for Artslant today about the feminist controversies around Judy Chicagoâs The Dinner Party, in light of the 2 new exhibits around the installation up now at Brooklyn Museum and National Museum for Women in the Arts.
