Island artist is uncensored in Seattle show

Ann Leda Shapiro, a well-known local artist, has work included in “Girlfriends of the Guerilla Girls,” a show to run Aug. 1 to Sept. 21 at Center on Contemporary Art, in Seattle. The show is described as “a love affair of local artists with The Guerilla Girls, an anonymous group of feminist artists devoted to exposing gender bias and racism in the art world.” For advance promotion, CoCA has used Leda Shapiro’s sexually explicit image, “Anger,” which in 1973, the Whitney Museum of American Art refused to hang in her one-person show. The show has public receptions from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursdays, Aug. 1 and Sept. 5. Regular gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays.
