SUMMARY:High Noon: Women Reformers and Engineers Clean up US Cities\, 1890s to WWII--Pamela E. Mack\, retired historian of science and technology\, Clemson University
DESCRIPTION:In the late 19th and early 20th century\, white women made significant inroads into scientific and technical careers\, only to be pushed out in the 1930s and 1950s. One group of women experts developed out of the settlement house movement and worked on sanitary garbage disposal\, sewage treatment\, and water purification. These women engineers were part of a reform movement that argued that it was women’s work to clean up cities as well as homes\, for the health of their families and those of other women. What might we re-learn from their commitment to technology to serve the public good?

SUMMARY:High Noon: DAILY LINES--Sophie Binder\, St. Louis designer\, illustrator and rock climber
DESCRIPTION:Sophie Binder points out that at the onset of the pandemic\, we all started to live in a different world. Mother Nature\, reminding us of its power\, was sending us a harsh call to reality\, asking us to hit a reset button. Isolation became a daily truth\, and we all had to find ways to cope. Art has always been this outlet for Sophie. In March 2020\, her mom passed away at a distance of more than 4\,000\, adding to the emotional burden. She found refuge in the daily discipline–and joy–of sketching daily. It let her look at each little thing in a new light\, always sketchbook in hand–a simple daily chronicle of very unusual times. She first thought she would try to keep up with it for a month. Then it was a year … then the days of total isolation were no more\, but no matter\, it had become something somewhat sustaining\, a comfort\, a small daily sense of accomplishment. Then it was two years … then three … then four. It has now been 1785 days and counting…. She will show slides and talk about the exercise of this daily routine–personal and somewhat more “global\,” and some of its unexpected outcomes. She will also share some of her sketchbooks.

SUMMARY:THE ANATOMICAL JEWEL. AN EXHIBITION BY RENEE CANETTA
DESCRIPTION:“The Anatomical Jewel” (2024) is an exhibition born from the struggles and expectations faced by women in modern society. This show transforms the mundane and painful into beautiful\, bejeweled sculptures. It explores the balance between hard truths and taboo ways of healing for women\, queer individuals\, and others in a homogenous society. My work reflects the early awareness of my own body and its impact on the world\, the uncomfortable experiences of being a woman\, and the societal expectations that control us. My sculptures create a safe space\, celebrating loudness and unapologetic expression. “The Anatomical Jewel” honors these journeys\, celebrates authenticity\, and aims to inspire a future where our voices are heard and our vulnerabilities are our strengths. ARTIST BIO: Renee is a self-taught artist known for her dramatic flair. Her first exhibition in 2013 earned her the Most Unique Award at the Sole Survivor Art Gallery Group Show\, leading to live painting demonstrations at Art On The Square and Midwest Salute To The Arts for three years. In 2015\, she debuted in a duet show\, “When Souls Collide\,” at Art Park Ost Gallery. She participated in group shows with Vodka Bacon Studios\, Poptropolis I\, and II\, and was the Cover Artist for Str8Up Magazine (Nov 2015) and Gesso Magazine (Jan 2018). Featured in Warm Soda Magazine and The Art Of Being Queer\, she recently began sculpting and spent the last two years on a body of work titled “The Anatomical Jewel.” Renee currently resides in St. Louis\, dedicating her free time to her art studio.

SUMMARY:A.MUSE.D: SEX WORKER PERFORMANCE ART SHOW
DESCRIPTION:Since time immemorial\, sex workers have been objectified as muses of inspiration for global arts\, music\, fashion\, and culture.

The a.muse.d Performance Art Show\, accompanied by the a.muse.d Art Exhibition\, is a reclamation and celebration of sex workers as artists ourselves. a.muse.d is produced by and for people in the sex trade who deserve to be recognized as the cutting-edge culture makers we are\, in St. Louis and beyond.

SUMMARY:"VEILED REALITIES" BY NABIL MOUSA
DESCRIPTION:The concept of the veil as concealing and revealing of a personal and global identity continues to interest me deeply. It is a charged item\, both physically and metaphorically\, as it brings about a constant source of fascination\, fear\, curiosity\, judgment\, and sometimes contempt. The veil plays a large role in identity politics around gender\, religion\, political leanings\, and liberalism. It is an open signifier\, culturally and religiously. In our current political climate\, it is a divisive tool\, depending on which American community one happens to be born or live in. It is used to scare\, and alienate\, but also to create. In my artistic journey\, I have sought to explore the profound interplay between the seen and the unseen\, the tangible and the intangible. My work is a tapestry woven from the threads of identity\, vulnerability\, and resilience. Central to my practice is the exploration of the veil\, a symbol that conceals and reveals\, carrying layers of meaning both personal and universal. \nThe concept of the veil as a cultural\, religious\, and political signifier continues to captivate my imagination. It is a charged item\, evoking emotions ranging from fascination to fear\, curiosity to contempt. In a world marked by identity politics\, the veil plays a pivotal role in discussions surrounding gender\, religion\, political affiliations\, and notions of liberalism. \nIt is an open signifier\, both culturally and religiously\, capable of evoking deeply contrasting emotions within different American communities. \nAs a gay man of Arab descent\, I have chosen to embrace the veil as a wellspring of inspiration and symbolism. Drawing from my cultural heritage\, I employ elements of the veil to engage in political and social commentary on the state of our world and the United States. \nThe veil\, for me\, extends beyond the political and social realm; it touches upon my personal journey. Growing up as a closeted gay Arab male\, I wore an invisible veil for much of my life\, one laden with fear\, shame\, and guilt. \nThis exhibition invites viewers to explore the intricate layers of the veil and the myriad emotions it elicits. Through sculptures and paintings\, we delve into the intersections of identity\, the power of vulnerability\, and the strength of resilience. My hope is that this body of work not only sparks dialogue but also fosters empathy and understanding. Together\, we can explore the invisible veils that we all wear and find common threads in our human experiences. \nIn 2017-18\, Mousa installed his solo exhibition\, American Landscapes\, at the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn\, Michigan. This series of paintings explored LGBTQ civil rights\, including the struggle for gay marriage in the United States. Mousa’s position as a gay\, Arab-American artist resulted in front page coverage of The New York Times Sunday art section. \n– Nabil Mousa \nWalk-In Gallery Hours at High Low are every day\, from 8am – 3pm. Private gallery visits can be made for all galleries by appointment. To make an appointment\, and for questions or concerns\, please contact  brandon@kranzbergarts.org or (314) 549-9990 ext. 123
