Nicholson Norton Simon Museum The Oakland Museum Palm Springs Desert Museum Tom Patchett Mr. and Mrs. Robert M. Sarkis Drs. Estelle and Morton Shane Ernest and Eunice White Diana Zlotnick Seven In this, our twentieth anniversary year, the Fellows of Contemporary Art are honored to initiate and sponsor an exhibition of the works of so respected and thought-provoking an artist as Llyn Foulkes. We are pleased, too, to collaborate for the third time with the Laguna Art Museum (Changing Trends: Content and Style: Twelve Southern California Painters, 1982; and Proof: Los Angeles Art and the Photograph, 1960-1980, 1992) as part of our ongoing program of support for contemporary artists and art institutions of California. Llyn Foulkes: Between a Bock and a Hard Place is the twenty-fourth in a SPONSOR'S FOREWORD series of exhibitions sponsored by the Fellows, and the thirteenth Fellows show to feature the work of a single artist. Today, contemporary art forms and their underwriting are the subject of scrutiny and sharp criticism throughout the United States. Privatization is seen as a viable, perhaps inevitable, alternative to public funding for the arts, but at the same time exhibitions and performances are increasingly expensive and complicated to mount. The Fellows have blazed a twenty-year-old trail as independent funders of exhibitions and know well the challenges involved. For these reasons, and in view of the current political climate, we are particularly grateful that this exhibition has been augmented by a generous grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. The Fellows wish to thank a number of persons who were invaluable in planning and implementing this exhibition. Charles Desmarais, former Director of Laguna Art Museum, and Susan M. Anderson, former Acting Director, guided the show from its infancy, while Director Naomi Vine took in hand a still somewhat unformed child upon her arrival at the Museum in March of 1995. Earlier, the exhibition’s conception took place in the minds of curator Marilu Knode and catalog essayist Rosetta Brooks, who suggested to the Fellows that a one-person show of the work of Llyn Foulkes was long overdue. Within the ranks of the Fellows, Past Chairman Anne Lasell, Long Range Exhibit Planning Chairs Cathie Partridge and Kathleen Reges, and Exhibition Liaison Linda Brownridge deserve special praise. Each applied her extensive knowledge of the art of our time and region to the formulation of Llyn Eight Foulkes: Between a Rock and a Hard Place. Ms. Brownridge followed closely the development of the exhibition, effectively facilitating communication between artist, curator, museum staff, catalog managing editor Sue Henger, designers David Tanimoto and Rose Ornelas, and the Fellows themselves. Research and Fund Development Chair Barbara Cohn was instrumental in gaining the NEA’s interest in the show, while Anne Lasell, Laurie Staude and Gretel Stephens brought their fine editorial skills to the task of proofreading the catalog. Throughout the exhibition’s gestation and birth, Administrative Director Alice Momm provided the unruffled, multifaceted, and thoughtful assistance for which she is well known. We are indebted to all and are delighted with our joint creation, Llyn Foulkes: Between a Rock and a Hard Place. Diane D. Cornwell Chairman, Fellows of Contemporary Art DIRECTOR'S ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Fellows of Contemporary Art have had a profound impact on the cultural life of Southern California, and Laguna Art Museum is honored to join them in presenting this important exhibition. The Fellows have once again demonstrated their dedication to expanding public appreciation and scholarly awareness of the significance of California’s contemporary art. I am particularly grateful to Linda Brownridge and Alice Momm of the Fellows, who have coordinated the efforts of a widely dispersed exhibition team and have made it appear to be an effortless task. Fellows members Cathie Partridge, Anne Lasell, Barbara Cohn, and Kathleen Reges were instrumental in originating the entire project, which would not have been possible without their vision, confidence, and encouragement. It has been a pleasure for us to work with everyone associated with the Fellows of Contemporary Art. In addition to inspiration, the Fellows provided the underwriting to organize this exhibition and Nine publish this catalog. Their generosity is accompanied by a firm belief in Llyn Foulkes’s work and a dedication to excellence. The exhibition is also supported, in part, by a substantial grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. Many other individuals have been instrumental in bringing this exhibition about. I wish to thank Charles Desmarais, former Director of Laguna Art Museum, for involving the museum in the organization of this major retrospective, and Susan M. Anderson, former Chief Curator, for admirably overseeing our participation. Marilu Knode, guest curator, and Rosetta Brooks selected the works for the exhibition and contributed to this book. Lynn Allinger-Barr, Lisa Buck, Jennifer Harper, Boiton Colburn, and Serge Armando completed the myriad

  • Gagosian Gallery
    Artforum January, 2000 GAGOSIAN 1999 Carnegie International Carnegie Museum of Art Katy Siegel When you walk into the lobby of the Carnegie Museum, the program of this year’s International announces itself in microcosm. There in front of you is atmospheric video projection (Diana Thater), a deadpan disquisition on the nature of representation (Gregor Schneider’s replication of his home), a labor-intensive, intricate installation (Suchan Kinoshita), a bluntly phenomenological sculpture (Olafur Eliasson), and flat, icy painting (Alex Katz). Undoubtedly the best part of the show, the lobby is also an archi-tectural site of hesitation, a threshold. Here the installation encapsulates the exhi-bition’s sense of historical suspen-sion, another kind of hesitation. Ours is a time not of endings but of pause. My favorite work, viewed through the museum’s huge glass wall, was the Eliasson, a fountain of steam wafting vertically from an expanse of water on a platform through which trees also rise up. It’s a heart-throbbing romantic landscape. Romantic, but not naive: The work plays on the tradition of the courtyard fountain, and the steam is piped from the museum’s heating system. Combining the natural and the industrial in a way peculiarly appro-priate to Pittsburgh on a quiet Sunday morning in early autumn, it echoed two billows of steam (or, more queasily, smoke?) off in the distance. When blunt physical fact achieves this kind of lyricism, it is something to see. Upstairs in the galleries, Ernesto Neto’s Nude Plasmic, 1999, relies as well on the phenomenology of simple form, but the Brazilian artist avoids Eliasson’s picturesque imagery.

    ^ Exhibition advisory Exhibition: Los Angeles to New York: Dwan Gallery, 1959–1971 On View: March 19–September 10, 2017 Location: Resnick Pavilion (Image credits on page 6) (Los Angeles—March 6, 2017) The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) presents Los Angeles to New York: Dwan Gallery, 1959–1971, an examination of the storied history of Dwan Gallery, one of the most important galleries of the postwar period in the United States. Virginia Dwan (b. 1931), gallery owner, art patron, and collector, was one of the greatest champions of avant-garde art and artists of the mid-20th century. During her more than 11 years as a gallerist, Dwan’s Los Angeles and New York galleries were among the first bicoastal spaces dedicated to showcasing contemporary art in America. As an arts patron, Dwan was a pivotal figure in the Los Angeles art scene, often providing artists with stipends, studio space, and housing, in addition to giving many artists their first solo shows. At the time, the exhibitions presented at Dwan Gallery were at the forefront of postwar avant-garde art. Dwan organized one of the first Pop art exhibitions in the United States, My Country ’Tis of Thee (1962), and she was one of the earliest and most ardent supporters of Minimal Art and Earthworks. Founded in 1959, Dwan Gallery first opened in a storefront in Westwood, Los Angeles. The gallery presented groundbreaking exhibitions of New York artists such as Philip Guston, Franz Kline, Claes Oldenburg, Robert Rauschenberg, Ad Reinhardt, and Larry Rivers as well as the Los Angeles-based artist Edward Kienholz.

    ABSTRACT Title of Document: FROM THE BELLY OF THE HUAC: THE RED PROBES OF HOLLYWOOD, 1947-1952 Jack D. Meeks, Doctor of Philosophy, 2009 Directed By: Dr. Maurine Beasley, Journalism The House Un-American Activities Committee, popularly known as the HUAC, conducted two investigations of the movie industry, in 1947 and again in 1951-1952. The goal was to determine the extent of communist infiltration in Hollywood and whether communist propaganda had made it into American movies. The spotlight that the HUAC shone on Tinsel Town led to the blacklisting of approximately 300 Hollywood professionals. This, along with the HUAC’s insistence that witnesses testifying under oath identify others that they knew to be communists, contributed to the Committee’s notoriety. Until now, historians have concentrated on offering accounts of the HUAC’s practice of naming names, its scrutiny of movies for propaganda, and its intervention in Hollywood union disputes. The HUAC’s sealed files were first opened to scholars in 2001. This study is the first to draw extensively on these newly available documents in an effort to reevaluate the HUAC’s Hollywood probes. This study assesses four areas in which the new evidence indicates significant, fresh findings. First, a detailed analysis of the Committee’s investigatory methods reveals that most of the HUAC’s information came from a careful, on-going analysis of the communist press, rather than techniques such as surveillance, wiretaps and other cloak and dagger activities. Second, the evidence shows the crucial role played by two brothers, both German communists living as refugees in America during World War II, in motivating the Committee to launch its first Hollywood probe.

He has been included in the Phaidon Press anthology of contemporary photography, Vitamin Ph, and contributed to LACMA’s Words Without Pictures. Zaki recently completed his second monograph, a large format, limited edition fold-out book entitled Eleven Minus One, which was co-published by LAXART and Eighth Veil on the occasion of a solo exhi- bition at LAXART. Zaki has an ongoing interest in the rhetoric of authenticity, as it is associated with photogra- phy as an indexical media. Simultaneously, he is deeply invested in exploring digital technolo- gy’s transformative potential to disrupt that assumed authenticity.

    OTIS Ben Maltz Gallery WB Exhibition Checklist 1 | Page of 58 (2012_Jan_23) GUIDE TO THE EXHIBITION Doin’ It in Public: Feminism and Art at the Woman’s Building October 1, 2011–January 28, 2012 Ben Maltz Gallery, Otis College of Art and Design Introduction “Doin’ It in Public” documents a radical and fruitful period of art made by women at the Woman’s Building—a place described by Sondra Hale as “the first independent feminist cultural institution in the world.” The exhibition, two‐volume publication, website, video herstories, timeline, bibliography, performances, and educational programming offer accounts of the collaborations, performances, and courses conceived and conducted at the Woman’s Building (WB) and reflect on the nonprofit organization’s significant impact on the development of art and literature in Los Angeles between 1973 and 1991. The WB was founded in downtown Los Angeles in fall 1973 by artist Judy Chicago, art historian Arlene Raven, and designer Sheila Levrant de Bretteville as a public center for women’s culture with art galleries, classrooms, workshops, performance spaces, bookstore, travel agency, and café. At the time, it was described in promotional materials as “a special place where women can learn, work, explore, develop their own point of view and share it with everyone. Women of every age, race, economic group, lifestyle and sexuality are welcome. Women are invited to express themselves freely both verbally and visually to other women and the whole community.” When we first conceived of “Doin’ It in Public,” we wanted to incorporate the principles of feminist art education into our process.
