UCLA Catalog Record ID UCLA Catalog Record ID: 7106064 Biography The Woman's Building was a non-profit arts and education center located in Los Angeles, California. It focused on feminist art and served as a venue for the women's movement. The Woman's Building began as the Feminist Studio Workshop (FSW), founded in 1973 by art critic and historian Arlene Raven, designer Sheila Levant de Bretteville, and artist Judy Chicago. This was one of the first schools for women artists. At the core of the FSW's mission was the centrality of art practice to the larger women's movement. A rented space in downtown Los Angeles became the home of the FSW and was eventually named the Woman's Building (the name was taken from the structure created for the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893). The Woman's Building was a shared space for the FSW along with Womanspace Gallery, the Women's Liberation Union, and the National Organization of Women. In 1975 the FSW moved to a new space and by 1977 most of the other organizations had left the Woman's Building. The FSW then voted to hire administrative staff and implement a board structure in order to solidify responsibility for the Finding aid for the Woman's LSC.1982 2 Building Records LSC.1982 building and all other legal and financial concerns. The funding for the building would then come from membership, fundraising, grant money, tuition from workshops and courses, and the board members themselves. The FSW officially closed in 1981 but the Woman's Building continued to provide educational resources. The main focus of the Woman's Building transitioned to solely artistic programming including visual art, performance art, readings, and video art. In 1981, the Women's Graphic Center (WGC) Typesetting and Design was created as the profit making arm of the Woman's Building. WGC provided typesetting, printing, design, and production services; the profits supported the other activities of the Woman's Building. That year, the Woman's Building also began renting artist studio space in order to generate additional revenue. WGC closed in 1988. The Woman's Building closed later in 1991. 1970 Feminist Art Program founded by Judy Chicago at Fresno State College 1970 Founding of Los Angeles Council of Women Artists 1971 Judy Chicago and Miriam Schapiro found Feminist Art Program at California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) 1971 Womanhouse, a collaborative installation, is created by students in the CalArts Feminist Art Program 1972 Womanhouse exhibited to the public 1973 Womanspace Gallery opens.

  • Feminist Art, the Women's Movement, and History
    Working Women’s Menu, Women in Their Workplaces Conference, Los Angeles, CA. Pictured l to r: Anne Mavor, Jerri Allyn, Chutney Gunderson, Arlene Raven; photo credit: The Waitresses 70 THE WAITRESSES UNPEELED In the Name of Love: Feminist Art, the Women’s Movement and History By Michelle Moravec This linking of past and future, through the mediation of an artist/historian striving for change in the name of love, is one sort of “radical limit” for history. 1 The above quote comes from an exchange between the documentary videomaker, film producer, and professor Alexandra Juhasz and the critic Antoinette Burton. This incredibly poignant article, itself a collaboration in the form of a conversation about the idea of women’s collaborative art, neatly joins the strands I want to braid together in this piece about The Waitresses. Juhasz and Burton’s conversation is at once a meditation of the function of political art, the role of history in documenting, sustaining and perhaps transforming those movements, and the influence gender has on these constructions. Both women are acutely aware of the limitations of a socially engaged history, particularly one that seeks to create change both in the writing of history, but also in society itself. In the case of Juhasz’s work on communities around AIDS, the limitation she references in the above quote is that the movement cannot forestall the inevitable death of many of its members. In this piece, I want to explore the “radical limit” that exists within the historiography of the women’s movement, although in its case it is a moribund narrative that threatens to trap the women’s movement, fixed forever like an insect under amber.

In an era apparently facilitated by the invasion of computers and machines, the reality is that everything looks, more and more, like the locations of Orwell’s 1984. The removal of spatio- temporal boundaries is just a consolation prize, because the customs continue to exist and overcome them is always crooked at least as to live as emigrants once exceeded.

A NOTE OF SUICIDE, Sara Malinarich (Chile) A woman sacrifices herself in a technological scene, in front of virtual witnesses and streets coexisting in time in different places. The screen is the suicide note, the physical support of a protest that overflows through an invisible mechanics that activates the self-destruction sequence. It is the suicide note that burns and sets fire to the woman, becoming the bonfire of her protests.

  • Cassandra Langer Interviewed by Katie Cercone Date: Dec
    NYFAI - Interview: Cassandra Langer interviewed by Katie Cercone Date: Dec. 15th, 2008 K.C. This is December 15th, 2008, Katie Cercone interviewing Cassandra Langer. C.L. I think it was important for most of us during the early 70s when the movement started up to establish institutions that would be accommodating to the radical new ideas that we had. We rejected the idea of accepting the old roles; of getting married being wives, and mothers . I think it’s hard for young people to understand that was the life you were groomed for. If you aspired to anything else, you were deemed oddball out , rushed off to a psychoanalyst or worse yet, thrown into a mental institution for readjustment. Establishing the Feminist Art Institute was an extremely revolutionary thing to do at that time. NYFAI provided a safe space for creative women who were trying to break out of those stereotypes. There was the California site that my friend Arlene Raven and others including Mimi Schapiro and Judy Chicago set up within the heart of a traditionally patriarchal art department spawning Woman House and other alternative spaces. Mimi, Nancy and people in New York, set up their own versions to begin with but they evolved into the Feminist Art Institute. For people like myself who were outsider-insiders, because I was teaching in South Carolina in the heart of limitation land and bigotry it was an oasis. The freedom of being able to talk with like-minded people was empowering. Founding the Collage Art Association’s Women’s Caucus for Art helped a lot.

  • Cheri Gaulke and Sue Maberry Construct a Visual Narrative of the Lesbian Family
    The Home that the Woman’s Building Built: Cheri Gaulke and Sue Maberry Construct a Visual Narrative of the Lesbian Family ANNE SWARTZ Savannah College of Art and Design, Savannah, Georgia, USA Artists Cheri Gaulke and Sue Maberry’s feminist activism learned at the Woman’s Building, combined with their lesbianism, radi- calized them to create ongoing documentation of their family. This article examines how Gaulke has intertwined her domestic, private imagery and narrative with her artistic, public work in a way that reveals a useful mode for her to examine the range of experiences as lesbian, parent, and artist. Thus, these two bodies of work co-exist and inform each other in her oeuvre and in her art with partner Maberry. They have created a kind of sexualized display sometimes inverting heteronormative conventions while other times presenting the family as a single unit, transgressive in its happiness and unity. KEYWORDS lesbians, photography, families, parenting INTRODUCTION In 1996, when I first taught the class “Women in Art,” a revisionist ap- proach to the entire history of Western art examining representations, artists, and patrons, I wanted the class to eliminate racial, ethnic, social, and sexual barriers in terms of what the students would be discussing and studying. The class was difficult to teach because enough revisionist scholarship—Whitney Chadwick, Norma Broude, and Mary Garrard wrote the textbooks I used—existed to make the topic available for discussion and analysis, but not enough to show the students a range of artists. Third-wave feminism was just gathering steam by the mid-1990s and the great num- bers of lesbian artists who would soon burst on the scene or start getting I am grateful to the artists for their support of this project and to Margo Thompson for her editorial guidance.

Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Suzanne Lacy on March 16, 1990. The interview took place in Berkeley, California, and was conducted by Moira Roth for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. This interview has been extensively edited for clarification by the artist, resulting in a document that departs significantly from the tape recording, but that results in a far more usable document than the original transcript. —Ed.

Could we begin with your birth in Fresno? SUZANNE LACY: We could, except I wasn’t born in Fresno. [laughs] I was born in Wasco, California. Wasco is a farming community near Bakersfield in the San Joaquin Valley. There were about six thousand people in town. I was born in 1945 at the close of the war. My father [Larry Lacy—SL], who was in the military, came home about nine months after I was born. My brother was born two years after, and then fifteen years later I had a sister— one of those “accidental” midlife births.
