The Park Avenue - film screening fundraiser ...


...who landed at a Park Avenue North address instead of a Park Avenue South address. Zero parking anywhere. 30 minutes late and fashionably so. But wait, there was Good News after all...the hustler's mobile battery had enough juice i.e. fully charged and got a great cell-fone (sic) pic at this wrong address prior to the film screening. God Bless America. And God Bless Jane Public. And God Bless a good fundraiser. And God Bless Jane Public's film, MISSING GREEN that screened to a packed room. and God Bless You (even if you didn't show up, duh). bye .

Her works have been shown at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, the New York Museum of Modern Art, and the London National Film Theatre. Schneemann has taught at several universities, including the California Institute of the Arts, the School of the Art Institute of ChicagoHunter College, and Rutgers University, where she was the first female art professor hired.
