The display will continue through Dec. 16.

The exhibiting artists include Claire Barker, Joanne Beck, Peg Brand, Kalynn Brower, Yara Cluver, Gail Hale, Kim Kurdelak, Darlene Mitchell, Jenny Necheles, Amy Saunders and Jan Zunkel. Their media include painting, sculpture, photography, video, fibers, multimedia installation and performance art.

In addition to the visual arts exhibition, a series of special performances, "Slope, slIp, slaNt," will be presented during the opening and throughout the weekend of Dec. 11-12. These include the restaging of several historic performance pieces from the original Womanhouse exhibit of 1972, as well as the premiere of specially developed presentations. The performances are directed by Terry Brino-Dean and include students from the IU Department of Theatre and Drama.
