Trappings: Stories of Women, Power and Clothing - The Tennessee Sessions
Nashville International Airport, September 6 - November 27, 2005

Exhibition Description
Trappings: Stories of Women, Power and Clothing – The Tennessee Sessions, at the Nashville International Airport, featured women who participated in Trappings interview sessions in Nashville, Knoxville, and Memphis Tennessee in October 2002. The exhibition featured 20 portraits and audio interviews which were experienced on cell phones. The artists presented the audio works on the airport's voicemail system, which was heard by dialing the phone number associated with each portrait.

This Trappings exhibition was designed to meet varied attention levels of travelers. Viewers who spent two seconds with the installation will be compelled by the project question: what do you wear that makes you feel powerful?, which was dominantly displayed in the exhibition corridor. Viewers could also choose to spend more time with the photographs, reading short excerpts of the women's interviews. People who had the most time to spend with the installation listened to a series of twenty audio works of the women's interviews, hearing the voices of the women presented in the photographs.

Two Girls Working will travel this exhibition to different communities in Tennessee. If you are interested in hosting the exhibition, email trappings@twogirlsworking.com.
