[A print on a deep wine colored background. The center right of the image shows the announcement card for no. 22 in the Weinperson series on Jul 2, 1993 with a person wearing a fire hat surrounded by a circle and slash through the center diagonally. The left of the image included shadowed black text that reads "with more than on" three times, creating a disorienting effect.]

Object Label:
Show Object Label(s)Having begun her career as an
accomplished realist painter, elements
of text and language became essential
to Judith Braun a.k.a Weinperson’s (b.
1947, American) later work. Deploying
activist strategies of widely distributed
print media and use of slogans,
Braun created a series of fifty-two
announcement cards that she mailed
weekly to her friends and colleagues.
One side of each postcard is treated with
provocatively captioned black-and-white
images, while the other displays text
that includes her newly adopted name
Weinperson—that she, “in a wry gesture
of political correctness,” changed from
her married name Weinman, on the
other. In this familiar, immediate space
of a postcard, Braun addresses social
constructions of identity, power, and
sexuality.
