Mary Ellen Scherl is a sculptural artist that creates work about women’s bodies. Her figurative sculptures address body issues, dignity, pain, and healing. “In 2005, in an effort to try to help heal on a larger scale, I asked myself, “What if my art could help fight breast cancer?” The result of my query was “Mamorial”; a breast cancer awareness installation that has grown into a project echoing the AIDS Awareness Quilt. Mamorial reflects Joseph Buey’s theory on ‘social sculpture’ and Sol Lewitt’s definition of conceptual art, “The idea becomes a machine that makes the art.” Mamorial provides therapeutic healing for breast cancer survivors and a visceral awareness experience for the general public. Two-hundred-fifty survivors from twenty-three states have made molds of their cancer affected chests and have written about their breast cancer experience. The resulting life-casts and soundtrack of testimonials comprise the traveling multi-media Mamorial installation. Creating Mamorial and witnessing its powerful and healing benefits recently inspired Hallowed Ground; a new direction intended to combat systematic genocide. I am neither a breast cancer survivor nor a relative of a victim of genocide. Yet, I find it meaningful that I am able to make a difference through my art. That said, the practice of developing ideas, crafting images and objects feels as essential to me as food, water and shelter. I love making objects. I love making a difference. And I love making objects that make a difference.” www.Mamorial.org

Brittany Howard Outside Looking In Window Installation. Brittany was born in Los Angeles, but does not say she is from there. As a child she wanted to be an astronaut or a doctor when she grew up. Things changed. Both of her ring fingers are longer than her index fingers. Scientific research has noted that this could be suggestive of higher than normal levels of testosterone while in the womb. In palmistry this is indicative of a creative mind. Her “other-job” is as a professional delouser. Yes, really. For her, making art is more about the emotionally exhaustive process than the finished product. She would like to own a tractor one day, maybe. She enjoys panda bears. However, this does not mean that she wants you to give her things that are “panda-related” i.e. t-shirts, porcelain figurines or notepads from Japan with pandas on them. She simply likes them. With the exception of Kim who always has fun presents and sometimes they do have a panda bear on them. Kim can buy her “panda-related” things. She has never beaten her younger sister at Scrabble or finished a game of Monopoly. She is quite certain her sister cheats at both Scrabble and Monopoly. Her life is a series of missed connections and bad timing. She does crosswords before bed and then can’t sleep because she is trying to think of a six-letter word for a popular garden flower. No one has ever used the word “patient” to describe her. She has absolutely no navigational sense of direction. If it weren’t for gravity she would have a difficult time negotiating between up or down. She believes artists are physical philosophers, realizing their ideas through tangible manifestations. She has just discovered how terrific raspberries are. She believes that only self-proclaimed idiots refer to themselves in the third-person.

Based on the mystery romance novel by Sarah Waters (Tipping the Velvet, Fingersmith), Affinity is a tale of power and possession in the late 19th century. Margaret Prior (Anna Madeley) is a socialite who finds escape and purpose as a mentor who brings hope and comfort to the female inmates at Millbank prison. However, she becomes infatuated with Selina Dawes (Zoe Tapper), a medium who was incarcerated after a séance went horribly awry. As the story unfolds, Margaret, who is at first skeptical of Selina’s gifts, soon discovers a world of secrets and shadows, heightened passions, and the allure of the supernatural.

On August 19, two days after the Logo premiere, an extended version of the gripping Victorian-era suspense thriller are available on DVD. Special features include a candid one-on-one interview with award-winning novelist Sarah Waters.

For the 1st time, Marriage Equality NY are not only crossing the Brooklyn bridge in New York State but will also have their Albany chapter crossing bridges in their community to further spread the word.

For the 2nd time, Marriage Equality NY has their sister organization Marriage Equality USA crossing the Golden Gate bridge, standing in solidarity with New York State and celebrating the recent decision making California the 2nd state in the union to have marriage equality for the GLBT community.

It all started when, Marriage Equality NY (MENY) held a meeting at the GLBT Community Center in NYC and asked activists what action would send a message to neighbors, colleagues, friends, politicians, and local business owners? An overwhelming response came when it was suggested that they organize a march across the Brooklyn Bridge. These activists said that it gives Marriage Equality NY the opportunity to stand in solidarity around this civil marriage right’s issue and hope of bridging the gap in the inequality. With MENY’s organizational mission being to organize the community in an effort to build awareness and educate New Yorkers on why marriage matters, the role of MENY leading the march was a natural fit.

And, as mentioned before, NYC’s Wedding March celebrates its 5th Anniversary of crossing the bridge with a clear mission to bring marriage equality about in New York State!

IN SUPPORT OF MARRIAGE EQUALITY,
THOUSANDS OF NEW YORKERS TO MARCH IN NYC AND IN ALBANY
MARCHERS TO CALL UPON THE STATE SENATE
TO PASS THE MARRIAGE BILL

NEW YORK, August 14th, 2008 – On Sunday, September 14th, thousands of people will gather here in New York (at City Hall Park and at a footbridge in Albany) and (in
solidarity) at San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, to march in support of marriage
equality for all New Yorkers. Since its inception 5 years ago in NYC, this annual march
across the Brooklyn Bridge has helped raise awareness about the continued lack of
access to the rights and responsibilities of civil marriage experienced by the state’s
same-sex couples. The march has grown into the largest pro-marriage equality rally in
the United States.

Now that California has granted equal marriage rights for all its gay and lesbian citizens, pressure is building for New York to follow suit. Last year, the New York State Assembly voted in favor of a marriage equality bill, but the State Senate has thus far failed to vote on the measure. Their inaction has added even further significance to this march.
Governor Paterson has cemented his stance as a supporter of same-sex marriage. The Wedding March is designed to be a visible statement in support of his efforts and those
of every person and group fighting for marriage equality across New York.

Ron Zacchi, Co-Executive Director for MENY believes that “it’s time for the State
Senate to do the right thing and vote to make New York the third state in the country to grant equal marriage rights for all its citizens. We must raise our collective voices in
support of this most basic of civil rights!”

Cathy Marino-Thomas, MENY’s Executive Director says: “New York has historically
been in the forefront of providing all its citizens equal access to the rights and
protections afforded by the state. The Wedding March serves as a reminder, from state to state and nationally, that this important civil rights issue will only be rectified when the legalized discrimination ends”.

This year, all three marches have registered participants that are raising money to help
the marriage equality movement. The proceeds from this year’s march will help MENY
fund statewide events that increase awareness and educate the public on this important
issue.

Founded in 1998, MENY is the oldest and organization in the state of New York to advocate for full equal marriage for same-sex couples. A.”grassroots,501( C) (3) non-for-profit organization, MENY and its dedicated volunteers are devoted to ending discrimination in civil marriage through education, awareness and media campaigns, political actions, and coalition.
