Our February chat room subject is Cindy Sherman. The chats run from 8pm to 10 pm, EST; the first Sunday is Feb. 2nd.
Here are some links on her work -

Feel free to add comments here in this regular thread too, as some people can't get to the chats and some want their words to last longer than they do on chat so more people can see them.
Wait until Sunday Feb 2nd to add comments here though, so we can all be reacting more or less at once to the subject.
here's a fast-track from the first link
cindy sherman MOMA
and a sample (crossing fingers)
subtle, or not so subtle, advertising for our chat! :wink:
and finally a little :hit: from ossoB's 3rd link
i found a lot (LOT) of images when i went to Google - then to images and entered Cindy Sherman - 744 hits including ...
Wow this looks so cool thank you Osso and Beth eh.
When I suggested that we chat about Cindy Sherman, I thought
we agreed that she would be February's poster girl. This would
give everyone a more reasonable time to read about her and
perhaps participate more in the discussion. I thought the plan was that this chat would take place Feb. 2
I apologize, shepaints. That date and the fact that the discussion would be over a month flashed right by me. I don't know if I can edit the question, I may be able to get a moderator to change it. Will try.

ossoB - you should be able to edit the first post (you can even edit polls if you feel wild and crazy)
Hi, everybody. Art chat was rather spare last time, at least re the number of participants. I checked in about fifteen minutes (10? 20?) after the start; it said Joanne Dorel was there, but not so's I could tell...she must have given up, and I did some bookkeeping (bletch) for awhile and then dyslexia came in and posted a sentence or two and left and then I did some bookkeeping, and then.......first thought came, just to chat, he is an engineer, and we ended up talking for a long time.
I don't know if anyone was there before I was, ha ha, on time, at 8 pm est, but if you do check in then, I wish you would wait around a bit. But that is true for all of us, give the chat room some time...
OK Osso I will try to stick around longer this Sunday. But I was there for quite some time.

Joanne, was that the Sunday when you and I talked alone for about an hour, (with a brief visit from Dyslexia) ?
The Sunday it was just the two of us with dys ducking in and out was just before Christmas I think.
and i fell asleep again <sigh>
My fault Beth eh I forgot to send you a drink tea PM. Will not forget next Sunday. We talked about Cindy and Maplethorpe and as usual all sorts of things. Shepaints asked about you and when you would be up to her show.
