Tonight is the opening of Alice Wheeler's new show at the Greg Kucera Gallery if your in Pioneer Square and like great photos of women drop by around 7 or 7:30.

"My generation was taught about the male gaze, how images of women were created for the enjoyment of men. Garry Winogrand's images of women from the 1960s and 70s present them enjoying the freedom of their newfound public sexuality. Some of the women he photographed seemed unaware of his presence, or appear to be hostile to him. He seems like he's playing the role of a predator, one who is aware of the concept of the male gaze and is exploring it in his own way."

"My work is about women's identity. It's about public sexuality and the concept of women controlling their own lives. Women today are more aware of how they appear in media images, and how they can control and shape their public identity."
