Curated by Kate Wadkins + Lauren Denitzio, BIG MOUTH: contemporary voices in feminist art + illustration is a platform for unpopular visual opinions. Feminist movements have historically grown out of interventions within radical communities in the face of silence, anger, and often, violence. Still, these conflicts and contentions are fought with the utmost passion and humor in hopes for a radical resolution. BIG MOUTH illustrates the ever-evolving search for feminist/queer identities and communities. This group show places feminist narratives at the center of radical art-making, where often our voices are poorly represented or left out altogether. BIG MOUTH is a celebration of our pluralism, our goofiness, and a proclamation of defiant love.

Made by General Fireproofing. Manufactured c1960s. Steel and aluminum construction with tilting backrest and original yellow vinyl upholstery.
Inspection reveals missed asbestos-containing spray-applied fireproofing (arrow), as well as, residual pipe valve insulation remaining from shoddy abatement years prior. Further, the remaining accessible ACMs were "missed" again by another more recent survey by fully accredited asbestos inspectors.

"I have no idols. I admire work, dedication and competence. "
-Ayrton Senna
Built in 1802 and heavily renovated by Barbot and Seyle in 1855, this Romanesque Revival-style building served as the Charleston County Jail from 1802 until 1939, and held prisoners of war for the Confederacy, and later, the United States Army, during the Civil War. The building began as a relatively simple four-story building in 1802, which comprised the present front wing of the structure. In 1822, the building was expanded to the rear with a fireproof wing containing individual prison cells by Robert Mills, which expanded the capacity of the jail in response to the growth of Charleston. The jail was heavily renovated in 1855, with the removal of most of the 1822 wing and its replacement with an octagonal rear wing, which was designed by Barbot and Seyle, and the heavy renovation of the remainder of the building in the Romanesque Revival style. The building was heavily damaged by the 1886 Charleston Earthquake, leading to the removal of the fourth floor from the original structure, resulting in the building's present form. The building is built of red brick and clad in stucco with roman arched and rectilinear bays with nine-over-nine and six-over-six double-hung windows with metal bars on the exterior, arched entrance bays with decorative entrance portals, a crenellated parapet, a hipped roof hidden behind the parapet, an octagonal rear wing, decorative corbeling at the base of the parapet, and four-story towers at the corners of the projected bay in the center of the front wing of the building, added in 1886. The building is a contributing structure in the Charleston Historic District, designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966. The building sat mostly empty following the decommissioning of the jail in 1939, eventually becoming home to The American College of the Building Arts between 2000 and 2016. As of 2023, the building is undergoing a major rehabilitation project, with a full restoration of the exterior, addition of an elevator, and the updating of building systems.

Designed and built as a fireproof warehouse in 1913, this building was erected by businessmen B. D. Milam and E. C. Connor. Dallas was an official U.S. Port of Entry in 1913. This structure initially served as the first bonded customs warehouse in Dallas. Exhibiting Chicago School-style influences, the reinforced concrete structure features metal casement window walls with brick infill. A rear bay served as an entry for rail cars. (1991) (Marker No. 6746)
The Sonneborn Building is a nine-story loft building constructed in 1905 on the northwest corner of South Paca and West Pratt Streets in Baltimore, Maryland. The building is of "fireproof" reinforced-concrete construction, faced in buff-colored brick, with a coursed ashlar foundation and stone trim; its detailing reflects the Neoclassical Revival of the early 20th century. The principal (east) façade, on South Paca Street, is 11 bays wide. The central bay, defined by stone pilasters, holds the entrance, which is ornamented with a split pediment surmounted by an oval window. The entrance is further emphasized by a pair of stone pilasters in each of the bays which flank it. Each of the three bays on either side of the central bays holds a group of three tall, transomed 4/4 sash windows on the first floor, with similar windows in a segmental-arched opening on the second. Below the second-story cornice, the brickwork separating the recessed window panels takes the form of rusticated pilasters; from the third to ninth floor levels, these pilasters are plain. The corner bays are expressed as heavily rusticated pilasters up to the level of the dentiled building cornice; these bays hold a single 4/4 window on each floor above the second, and a large bronze name plaque with an elaborate Neoclassical enframement below. A simple cornice separates the eighth and ninth floors, and the ninth-floor windows rest directly on it. The building is ten bays deep. The interior is utilitarian, with an open plan interrupted only by concrete-encased steel columns between the reinforced concrete floors.
The Sonneborn Building is reported to have been one of the earliest steel-and-concrete buildings in the city, and the most modern structure of its kind in Baltimore when it was built. The building was designed by the firm of Otto Simonson and Theodore Wells Pietsch, two very well known Baltimore architects of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was designed in 1904, right after the Great Baltimore Fire, to be the latest in fireproof construction, including its own sprinkler system throughout. It was built in 1905 for Henry Sonneborn and Company as a vertical clothing manufactory. At the time it was built it was the tallest and largest strictly manufacturing building in the city of Baltimore. Today it remains the tallest and largest of the remaining loft buildings in what has come to be known as the "Loft Urban Renewal Area."
All fireproof plaster. What appears to us to be an odd colour sceme was popular at the time and is designed to be seen mostly in low light.

On the morning of January 1, 1873, the honorable Thomas Hoyne, President of the Board of the Chicago Public Library, addressed a crowd of Chicago’s most prominent citizens. Standing before the fireproof water tank on the corner of Adams and LaSalle that would be the first home to the new collection, he remembered the calamity of the Great Fire that leveled the city a little more than a year before. The veritable spirit of the Great West would, out of this destruction, embrace the challenge of rebuilding a cultivated and sophisticated city.
“In view of all the material and commercial progress, I venture to say that, in inaugurating the enterprise of a Free Public Library and Reading Room today, we are introducing a more powerful and important agency of moral and intellectual progress and adding more to the true advancement of out civilization as a people, than we have yet done by any single, it may well be all the works in which the city has yet been engaged.” [1]
As Carl Smith discusses in Urban Disorder and the Shape of Belief, the aftermath of the fire was seen by many as an opportunity for renewal, a testing experience that could redefine the direction and purpose of the city, facilitated by the courage and will of great men [2]. The nine men appointed by Mayor Medill as the first members of the Library Board—including several esteemed members of the bar and respected newspaper men—were impressive elements of Chicago society, confidently entrusted with bringing forth “culture” and the refinement of the individual in a grand new society. Chicago was to be propelled from its singular distinction as a modern commercial and industrial powerhouse—raw, vulgar, crude, speculative—and enter into the thoughtful, intentional, cumulative process of building a great democratic cultural institution. In his address that followed President Hoyne’s, Mayor Medill announced to applause, “Mere material thoughts have engrossed the thoughts of our citizens too intently and fully. Men were not intended to devote their whole time, mind, strength and affections to money-getting, to rearing magnificent palaces for trade and commerce or private habitations, and filling them with costly fabrics and furniture. Other objects than commerce, manufactures, castles, money and merchandise should have a place in the thoughts of sensible men and women.” His answer: to “get wisdom” [3].

The Surrogate s Courthouse,also known as the Hall of Records,is a Beaux Arts municipal building in lower Manhattan. Opened in 1907,it is located on the northwest corner of Chambers Street,across the street from City Hall and the Municipal Building. The building was designed to be fireproof to safely house the city's paper records as well as providing court rooms for the Surrogate s Court for New York County on the fifth floor. The Beaux Arts exterior features fifty four sculptures by prize-winning artists representing both allegorical figures and eminent figures from the City's past including Peter Stuyvesant, DeWitt Clinton,David Pietersen De Vries and past New York City mayors-Wikipedia
In 1915, Dr. Roy Lanterman commissioned architect A. L. Haley to design a fireproof bungalow of reinforced concrete for his family and the result was a unique architectural treasure.
The house was made up of reinforced concrete in part because of the high risk of fire danger from the native chaparral surrounding the property but also because Dr. Lanterman’s relief role after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake made him particularly fire-conscious.
There are many arts and crafts elements in the Lanterman house. It retains its exquisite original interiors and furnishings, including elaborate hand-painted wall and ceiling ornamentation.
The entire second floor is devoted to a grand ballroom, and the interior retains its original craftsman furnishings.

"Shelby's Leading Hotel--Fireproof. Well known
for homelike atmosphere and excellent food
and service."
The building that housed Hotel Charles, known as the Blanton Building, dates from the 1890s. As well as a hotel, it also housed the First National Bank. From the National Park Service:
"The bank offices were located in the Warren Street corner of the building, then called the Blanton Building. The building also contained the finest of Shelby's four hotels--the Central Hotel--the lobby of which opened on the north end of the building, and the upper floors contain the hotel rooms. On August 28, 1928, the eve of the Depression, the hotel caught fire, killing three people and causing substantial damage. The bank temporarily relocated to a building on West Warren Street where a cave-in caused by the excavation of an adjacent building tragically killed six more people. By 1929, the Blanton Building was repaired and remodeled with a simple corbeled cornice and stuccoed, and the hotel reopened as the Hotel Charles. First National Bank returned to the building, where it is still located today."
