Suburban Knights: The Warrior Mystique -- Wisconsin exhibit
Posted: Mon Apr 14, 2008 4:57 pm
If you live in Wisconsin, lucky you...
There is an upcoming exhibit that features both armor and images of SCA armor as seen in Pennsic Wars from 2003 to 2005. The artist who did my leather armor, Minamoto Akira, is featured in an image. I believe I am as well as are many others. If you had your picture taken by the photographer Elizabeth Kitchen during those years, you may be in this exhibit.
In any case, here is the information to the museum's website:

Suburban Knights: The Warrior Mystique
Saturday, Apr 19, 2008 to Jun 22, 2008
Fast forward from the Middle Ages to the 21st century and meet contemporary suburban knights in the platinum prints of California photographer E.F. Kitchen. She spent 2003-05 with members of the Society for Creative Anachronism, an international group devoted to re-creating the arts and activities of the Middle Ages in contemporary times. Suburban Knights features seventeen portraits that capture these modern-day warriors in full armor before they take the field of battle to engage in physically rigorous combat.
