CEASE FIRE (2pm)

Pat Lewis

1992 ~ 30 mins.

video, documentary



In making her first video documentary about gays in the military, 'CEASE FIRE', Pat was meticulous in gathering and reading all the news, documentation and information she could find about the issue of gay men and women being kicked out of U.S. military branches just because they were gay. She just couldn't understand how this could be happening, and that nobody seemed to be doing anything about it. She still has every article and document she collected in 1994.

For 'CEASE FIRE', Pat interviewed many gay women at a demonstration that took place in Washington, DC in 1994 who had served in various branches of the military to find out about their personal experiences with sexual harassment and being discharged because of their sexual identity . Their individual stories are amazing, and Pat is still sharing them almost 20 years later in this amazing video!

Salonista Compilation





Shangrila

Silvana D'Mikos

2013 ~ 1 minute, 35 seconds

video, sound animation



I grew up in Shangrila, a small village in Uruguay where gardens gave way to wilderness; children played on unpaved streets and explored the nearby forest and beaches. A place characterized by raining, cold winters, and colorful, warm summers. The interactive installation presents a sensory perception experience of touch, smell, sounds and visual elements associated with these memories, evoking the feelings of my childhood. Moreover, encourage the participants to review their own memories and emotions.





Collage of Colorsculpting Pieces

Sabina Păuţa Pieslak

2011 ~ 2 minutes, 40 seconds

video, visual art time lapse



I paint paper sculptures, creating works out of shredded paint chips. My medium is a color-coded card intended to be held or affixed to a wall for a short time until replaced with paint or thrown out. Its purpose is to help bring color into our lives, but its own handling is short-lived. In my works, I question whether transient, typically discarded objects like paint chips can be transformed into more permanent objects that enliven the spaces in which we live, work, and play. After shredding the chips, I recycle them into works of art that have a close relationship with the painted wall on which they are displayed. By using materials typically associated with painting but not art, I suggest a new perspective of what art is and how it can be made. I would like to acknowledge the Benjamin Moore Paint Company for its generous donation of materials for my artworks.

Salon Radio May 6th: Malini Singh McDonald and Jenny Green

Salon Radio May 6th, 2013

International Women Artists' Salon is thrilled to present
Malini Singh McDonald and her guest Lynda Sing for our feature interview and actress Jenny Green for our Salon Solo {Radio} segment.

Malini Singh McDonald
and Guest Lynda Sing
Malini Singh McDonald (Producer, Publicist, and Marketing Director) is a native New Yorker who has been involved in the arts for her entire life. She’s served the theatre in many aspects of which she’s very proud – actress, director, producer, stage manager, costume designer, prop designer, theatre reviewer, publicist and writer/monologist. She received her BA in Theatre Arts and English Literature from Baruch College and her MFA in Directing from the Actors Studio Drama School. In 2003, Malini and her husband, Ian, created Black Henna Productions with a handful of innovative artists. Every member of the company collaborates on every piece, either writing, acting, directing, designing, or filling any other role that fit their own personal skills with a commitment to bring new, exciting, and challenging theatre to the world. She is an associate member of Stage Directors and Choreographers Society. Malini received the Woman of Distinction Award for her contribution to Media, Arts and Culture from the City of New York in 2008. She was a Person of Godspell during it’s run on Broadway at Circle in the Square. 

She is currently co-producing Imaginary by Nick Radu with Nick Radu. Malini is also very excited about Gym Shorts: The Show for which she is currently the Press Representative.






My project, simply, is to help give a voice to fellow artists. My number one means of doing that is through my newsletter, Theatre Beyond Broadway. The official newsletter began last August but I have been emailing friends about friends' projects for almost decade. Besides the importance of supporting one another, I feel it's important to let others know that art isn't being created in a vacuum but is consistently occuring if you look for it. It's not just on Broadway or at New World Stages. It's happening down in the Lower East Side, or Brooklyn Heights, or City Island, Snug Harbor, all over Queens and Long Island. Artists are creating. The PR becomes more special when I am specifically hired to promote a project like Gym Shorts.  Great concept of relationships set in a gym told in five vignettes. Endorsed by Tony Horton, creator of P90X. When an artist creates their magic, there are times I have interest in producing which is currently Nick Radu's Imaginary. We are working on a backers' audition in June.


Current Projects:

  • Co-producer of Imaginary by Nick Radu
  • Editor and Founder of Theatre Beyond Broadway (a newsletter for the carefree theatre lover who craves theatre beyond Broadway)
  • Marketing Director, EstroGenius Festival
  • Executive Director, Black Henna Productions

This project combines the knowledge and skills she's acquired as a performing artist, arts administrator, studio manager, and yoga teacher.  This endeavor brings together her enthusiasm for the arts and fitness, and she's strived to administer this show in a positive and kind way for everyone involved. She is happy to help to bring this truly unique show to audiences who will absolutely identify with the life it explores. She'd like to thank everyone who has put their time and effort into this production especially Derek, Kermit, and Eric for this Short journey, which is just the beginning of great things
