She's Got Problems
BY MARY TEMPLETON
The "problem with no name" was Betty Friedan's phrase for the lack of social and spiritual meaning in the lives of women. She addressed this nameless predicament in her 1963 book The Feminine Mystique, which is often credited with launching the modern women's movement. But 40 years after the start of the coup, women are still trying to grasp the problem with no name. Five of them tackle this conundrum with a 21st-century slant in the exhibit "The Feminine Mystique," opening today at Earth Gallery. "Mystique" gathers the work of Shelley Shanks, Aimi Dunn, Sorange Castillo, Ann Hernandez and Michelle Cook, whose paintings reflect the modern woman in the context of family, career, private self and role in the larger world. It's ladies' night today from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Date/Time: Wednesdays-Saturdays. Continues through Sept. 30
Price: Free

BROWNSTEIN / Try heading for Collision

However, if you're still hellbent on banging into fellow citizens, may we suggest a cultural alternative that shouldn't entail any bloodshed whatsoever: Collision, the third annual art show/costume party/dance, tomorrow at 8 p.m. at the Long Hall, 450 Beaumont St. 2nd floor.

A collective of 32 local artists has produced a whack of paintings, photos, sculptures(audio and visual) and installations depicting colliding colours, people and cakes masquerading as cars. To be on the safe side, best to keep an eye out for the colliding paper airplanes.

Admission free, dance and music until the wee hours is provided by DJs Ever and Slide.

Collision attire is suggested
Helmets are optional.
