In January, a team of local women photographers captured the scene at Frye Art Museum during the exhibit, Acting Out: Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore.

This event took place the day after the 61st anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz*.

The team of local women photographers captured a guerrilla performance art project by LEAP (Lesbians Engaged in Art for Peace) inside the galleries of the Museum that were dedicated to the exhibit, Acting Out: Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore. Wearing armbands promoting peace, they paid homage to the Surrealists. Instead of being a passive event, the individual viewers – in costume – provided a spectacle that commanded the museum-goers engagement. It was a real treat for the unaware visitors and security staff of the Frye.

LEAP represents a world view that encourages community development by promoting equality and self-preservation through creative action.

This international art movement, whose mission is to build community while promoting peace, was launched in Seattle, WA on January 29, 2006. Future exhibits for 2006 are being planned in Tokyo, Japan and Shanghai, China.

This art project is independent of the Frye Art Museum but enjoys the collaboration of Dr. Tirza True Latimer, Curator of “Acting Out: Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore.”
