Mind's Eye/Mind's Ear

Have you ever walked through the doors of a
museum or gallery with anticipation only to feel
overwhelmed even drained within the first few
minutes? Have you ever wished you knew more about
the art you do see? When was the last time you
attended a performance and wished you had someone
to have a thoughtful discussion with about what
you had just seen?
Welcome to Mind’s Eye/Mind’s Ear the place at Donne Tempo where we’ll share experiences and insights relating to the visual and performing arts. Here we’ll offer helpful hints on what to see and what not to miss if you have limited time. We’ll visit both the well and little known places for taking in the arts and introduce you to some of the women artists who have defined and continue to shape the arts as we know them. We hope to inform and at the same time, challenge and inspire. We welcome your questions and input.
Look for my first column: “Whack! Art and the Feminist Revolution” a review and discussion of the retrospective show currently running at the Museum for Women in the Arts, in Washington, D.C. This exhibit contains over 300 works by 118 of some of the most influential and, perhaps, controversial artists in contemporary art history. We’ll look at these women, these movers and shakers and explore how and if their work, created at the height of the feminist movement, still holds it power or relevance today.
Editor's Note: Who is Terre?
Terre Jenkins is an artist and educator with 17 years teaching experience. She is currently the director of the Little Picasso School of Visual Arts in Rockville, Md. While she’s a native Washingtonian, she’s no stranger to navigating her way around the world.
A fearless and sometimes feisty traveler, she’ll be happy to regale you with tales of being deported from France, joining local Chinese in morning exercises in a Shanghai park and being the featured “American” karaoke singer in Japanese whiskey bars….Never afraid to ask why or what it all means you can look forward to her lively and not always reverent look at the arts around the corner and around the world.
