  • Distance and Empathy: Constructing the Spectator of Annie Sprinkle's Post-POST PORN MODERNIST—Still in Search of the Ultimate Sexual Experience
    Spring 1993 177 Distance and Empathy: Constructing the Spectator of Annie Sprinkle's Post-POST PORN MODERNIST—Still in Search of the Ultimate Sexual Experience Angelika Czekay Today, after seventeen years in the porn industry, ex-sex worker Annie Sprinkle is a performance artist. In her recent performance piece "Post-Post Porn Modernist Still in Search of the Ultimate Sexual Experience," Sprinkle talks about her life as a former porn star and ex-prostitute. The show's topic is sex, which Sprinkle "understands as her hobby, politics, spiritual experience, expertise, main subject matter . and the key to her great health and happiness" (Program note, Theatre Oobleck, October 1991). The performance is visually graphic: Sprinkle urinates and douches on stages, invites the spectator to look at her cervix, performs a "bosom ballet," and introduces sex toys for the fulfillment of various sexual desires. In a series of loosely linked segments, her narration moves through the different stages in her life and reveals its changes, both in job and attitude. To complement her stories, Sprinkle uses sets of slides; for instance, the "pornstistics" [sic], showing an image of the Empire State Building as a demonstration of the length of all the penises she "sucked," or a diagram that reveals in percentages her reasons for becoming a sex worker. I had the opportunity to see Sprinkle's performance piece on two separate occasions and in two different cultural contexts in 1991, once in Berlin in July and once in Chicago in October. Although the performance had basically remained the same, my reactions were almost directly opposite.

  • Annie Belle Boss Papers (League of Women Voters) 1914-1931 (3 Hollinger Legal Size Boxes) (1 Flat Box with 1 Scrapbook (16” X 10 1/2” X 4”), with Deed of Gift)
    IUSB Archives Inventory of Collections Annie Belle Boss Papers (League of Women Voters) 1914-1931 (3 Hollinger legal size boxes) (1 Flat Box with 1 Scrapbook (16” X 10 1/2” X 4”), with Deed of Gift). The papers pertain to the Woman’s Franchise League of Indiana and its successor, the Indiana League of Women Voters, and especially to the activities of Annie Belle Rittel Boss (Mrs. John C. Boss) (circa 1874-1946), a middle-class woman of Elkhart, Indiana who was active in these organizations on the local, district and state levels. Mrs. Boss’s papers became the property of her daughter, Helen K. Boss Winterhoff, and upon Mrs. Winterhoff’s death were obtained by members of the League of Women Voters of Elkhart. They presented the collection to IUSB in 1984. These papers include publications, correspondence, internal records and other memorabilia of the Woman’s Franchise League of Indiana (1915-1920) and the Indiana League of Women Voters (1920-1931) as well as a history of the latter organization compiled in 1977. Some of the materials concern the local Elkhart branch of the two organizations. Many of the items originated with Helen Beardsley of Elkhart, who founded the Elkhart chapter of the Woman’s Franchise League of Indiana in April, 1913. Serving on the board of the state organization, she became the first president of the Indiana League of Women Voters in 1920. During her years as president (1920 - 1922), the state headquarters was at Elkhart, after which time it was moved to Indianapolis. Mrs. Beardsley was the wife of Andrew Hubble Beardsley, a leading Elkhart businessman, who as a state legislator included woman suffrage in his platform and was influential in the passage of suffrage legislation in Indiana.

  • Annie Morris, 1978 —
    Annie Morris, 1978 — London-based artist Annie Morris was born in 1978. Morris studied at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris between 1997 and 2001 under Giuseppe Penone before completing her education at the Slade School of Fine Art in London. Morris’s multi-disciplinary practice draws on both personal experience and the history of art. Encompassing sculpture, tapestry, painting and drawing, Morris’s intuitive use of line weaves between abstraction and representation. Morris’s most recognizable body of work is her ‘Stack’ series, begun in 2014 and inspired by the artist’s grief following a stillbirth. The sculptures, which are comprised of irregular spheres precariously arranged into tall columns, evoke the swell of pregnancy. Sculpted in plaster or cast in bronze, the forms are painted with hand-sourced, raw pigments in vivid hues such as Ultramarine, Viridian and Ochre, which give Morris's lumpen orbs a rich, vibrant hue. Morris uses the same deep pigments in her drawing and tapestry practice, which combines personal ciphers with abstract mark-making and grid-like structures.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Susan Habas Thalian Association Community Theatre 910-251-1788 [email protected] TWICE THE HOLIDAY FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY WILMINGTON, NC – Thalian Association Community Theatre (TACT) is presenting two special holiday musical productions that families can enjoy together. First up is the youth theatre production and Wilmington premiere of Elf Jr. on the Second Street Stage at the HBHUSO/Community Arts Center. Based on the beloved 2003 hit movie, Elf Jr. tells the story of Buddy, a young orphan who mistakenly crawls into Santa's bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. "We have something very special planned for the Elf Jr. audiences,” said Susan Habas, Thalian Association Community Theatre Executive Director. "The original Buddy, Will Ferrell, has filmed an introduction just for these performances. Mr. Ferrell has family here in Wilmington and as the father of three boys, he is very supportive of youth theatre arts and education." There will also be paintings of the local ‘elves’ who will be appearing on stage on display in the lobby of the Historic USO building. Painted by 28 artists from the Wilmington Art Association (WAA) during the run of the play, this marks the third collaboration between TACT and the WAA to support performing and visual arts education for our young people. The paintings will be on sale to the public with a portion of the proceeds to benefit the Community Arts Center. See the modern holiday classic and embrace your inner elf for one weekend only December 1st – 4th. Performances are Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:30 PM; Saturday and Sunday matinees at 3:00 PM.

Beck May 2020 ! Abstract ____________________________ This interdisciplinary thesis examines the myth of the orphan in twentieth-century America as exemplified through the recurring story of “Little Orphan Annie,” an iconic American figure of independence, resilience, and optimism. By providing historical context and literary analysis for each of Annie’s crucial moments in the twentieth century, this thesis shows how the character has advanced a misguided perception of orphan and youth agency. While evolving to represent different decades of American society in the twentieth century through different mediums, Annie has further misled Americans in their perception of orphan and youth agency.
