Baker is a new renaissance artist known for her boundary-defying\, ever-evolving practice that resists easy categorization. Her work spans sound\, performance\, visual art\, and film—often incorporating custom instruments\, original notation systems\, and experimental technologies. \nA master of sonic exploration\, she performs on “The Spaceship\,” a complex instrument system featuring modular synthesizers\, motion-sensitive controllers\, theremins\, toy pianos\, found objects\, and her custom 6’2” amplified zither\, Black Moon Lilith. \nElizabeth’s visual works have been shown in galleries and international film festivals\, and her acclaimed series FIELD STUDIES and AGGRESSIVE PILLOW TALK received support from the State of Florida and were central to her fellowship at the Harvard Radcliffe Institute (2021–22). \nHer work\, which encourages deep listening and reflection\, challenges traditional narratives and centers the idea that all things exist with essence beyond human definition. \nRecognized globally by scholars and press alike\, Fanfare Magazine and I Care If You Listen have both hailed her as “the Pauline Oliveros of her generation.” \n  \nABOUT NINA YANKOWITZ \nThroughout a career spanning six decades\, Nina Yankowitz (American\, b. 1946) has created a multidisciplinary practice that defies singular definition. Her work pushes against traditional boundaries: her paintings have resisted not just frames\, but seemingly gravity; her abstract compositions have gone beyond the canvas to embrace the aural. Most recently\, Yankowitz has deepened her interest in technology and new media to create immersive environments that spotlight women-centered histories that have gone unknown for far too long. \nNina Yankowitz was born and raised in New Jersey and lives between New York City and Sag Harbor. Her works are in public collections\, including the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco\, San Francisco\, CA; Virginia Museum of History & Culture\, Richmond\, VA; and the Smith College Museum of Art\, Northampton\, MA. Her archival materials are found in the Archives of American Art\, Smithsonian Institution\, Washington\, D.C. Her 2022 solo exhibition at Eric Firestone Gallery garnered reviews in Artforum and Art in America\, and in 2024 she was inducted into the New York Foundation for the Arts’ Hall of Fame.

SUMMARY:the ins and outs | Vol. 1 with Sapphic Sun
DESCRIPTION:the ins and outs | Vol. 1 with Sapphic Sun – “Heresies: Art\, Politics & Intersectionality”\nJoin us for the first event in a bold new series inspired by the work and legacy of pioneering feminist artist Nina Yankowitz.

Through pop-up demos\, a panel discussion\, small bites from Café Clementine\, and hands-on writing prompts\, contributors from The Sapphic Sun will explore the intersections of politics\, identity\, and print culture—past and present. \nEngage with the creative process of writing\, printing\, and design while enjoying a cocktail. Then take part in a salon-style writing session that opens space for reflection\, storytelling\, and the radical power of the printed word. \nFor the first time ever\, our very own Café Clementine will be catering an evening event with us\, serving up Small Plates & Sweet Disruptions. Enjoy some Clementine classics along with new tastings like Draped Prosciutto & Peach Crostini with Burrata and Basil\, inspired by Nina’s draped works with a Summer spin; Blistered Shishito Peppers with Lemon Zest\, bright\, bold\, and unpredictable—like any good heresy; or maybe Sourdough Crisp “Zines” with Cream Cheese & Cucumber Ribbons… \nEvening Schedule: \n6:00–7:00 PM: Pop-Ups & Cash Bar\n7:00–7:30 PM: Introductory Talk\n7:30–8:30 PM: Hors d’oeuvres & Writing Session\n8:30–9:00 PM: Panel Discussion + Open Salon \nSpace is limited—reserve your seat and raise a glass to art\, voice\, and vision. \nthe ins and outs | Vol. 1 with Sapphic Sun \nAges 21+ | Includes cash bar\, heavy hors d’oeuvres\, and lively discussion \nFriday\, July 25\, 2025\n6:00 PM–9:00 PM\nTickets: $50 / $75 / $100 – You Choose \nWe believe in making art accessible to all.
