She's Every Woman

Hey, kids!

Keeping it brief...and in my briefs after yesterday's shame-inducing report from the CDC.

Anyway, Cindy Sherman in strolling into town tonight with a retrospective show and I'm so totally beyond tickled.

I loved her work this very first time I saw years and years and years ago -- and I've followed her career ever since.

It surprised me to hear from some of the folks handling media for tonight's event that she's shy.

I know I won't be shy tonight -- coz' I have every intention of meeting this woman who has recreated and reinvented herself in thousands of way before the camera's eye. She's always alone in her images...and I have one simple goal: to get snap shot with her, for my own personal collection. That way I'll have my very own Cindy Sherman!

Cindy Sherman: Working Girl
will include rarely seen works from the beginning of the artist’s career in the mid-1970s. Primarily culled form her private collection and from family members, this exhibition offers a unique glimpse into the early development of Sherman’s career and how these early photographs informed the work that made her one of the most admired and influential artists of her generation. Cindy Sherman will attend the exhibition’s opening. A catalog published by the Contemporary will accompany the exhibition.
