WOMAN GONE WILD
PoPArt for the Bored Room
Artist's solution to vacant dining rooms across America

Is it an American phenomenon to have a formal dining room that nobody ever sits in? The artist admits that she is guilty of not using her dining room either. "Too often we just sit in the informal kitchen nook. It's a much cozier space to eat a meal together." Rubenstein is a visual artist who sees the humor in everyday things. Her quirky imaginary dinner party with life-sized cardboard people (based upon her Art Brats/Cafe Society characters) will fill the vacant chairs in a dining room setting. Who will bump elbows with whom? Ms. Behavin', Major Catastrophe & Ms. Fortune are a few names on the guest list. Original still lifes and portraits of the twelve invited dinner guests will be displayed. All work is for sale.
