  • Alison Saar Foison and Fallow
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 2010 Media Contact: Elizabeth East Telephone: 310-822-4955 Email: [email protected] Alison Saar Foison and Fallow 15 September through 30 October 2010 Opening reception for the artist: Wednesday 15 September, 6-8 p.m. Venice, CA –- L.A. Louver is pleased to announce an exhibition of new three-dimensional mixed media works on paper and sculpture by Alison Saar. In this new work Saar explores the cycle of birth, maturation, death and regeneration through the changing season and her own experience of aging. The two drawings Foison, 2010 and Fallow, 2010, which also give their titles to the exhibition, derive from Saar’s recent fascination with early anatomy illustration. As Saar has stated “The artists of the time seemed compelled to breathe life back into the cadavers, depicting them dancing with their entrails, their skin draped over their arm like a cloak, or fe- tuses blooming from their mother’s womb.” In these drawings, Saar has replaced the innards of the fi gures with incongruous elements, to create a small diorama: Foison, 2010 depicts ripe, fruitful cotton balls and their nemesis the cotton moth, in caterpillar, chrysalis and mature moth stage; while Fallow, 2010 portrays a fallow fawn fetus entwined in brambles. In creating these works Saar references and reexamines her early work Alison Saar that often featured fi gures with “cabinets’ in their chest containing relics Fallow, 2010 mixed media of their life. 55 1/2 x 29 x 1 in. (141 x 73.7 x 2.5 cm) My work has always dealt with dualities -- usually of the wild, feral side in battle with the civil self -----Alison Saar One of two sculptures in the exhibition, En Pointe, 2010 depicts a fi gure hanging by her feet and sprouting massive bronze antlers.

  • Alison Saar | Breach Sept. 17–Dec. 17, 2016
    Alison Saar | Breach Sept. 17–Dec. 17, 2016 Alison Saar explores issues of gender, race, racism, and the African diaspora. She mines mythology, ritual, history, music, and her biracial heritage as sources for her work. During a 2013 residency at the Joan Mitchell Center in New Orleans, Saar was dismayed to see how little had been done to rebuild African American communities devastated by Hurricane Katrina eight years earlier. Upon her return to Los Angeles, she began researching the histories of American floods and the effect on African Americans.The Great Mississippi River Flood of 1927, described as one of the worst natural river disasters in U.S. history, piqued her interest. Heavy rains resulted in the river breaching levees, creating a historic catastrophe that had a profound impact on the life of African Americans living in the Mississippi Delta. The flood exposed the conditions of poor African American sharecroppers and tenant farmers and their relationship with cotton plantation owners. The flood also resulted in social, cultural, federal policy, and political changes. With water imagery woven throughout, Breach is the culmination of Saar’s creative research on American rivers and their historical relationship to the lives of African Americans. Through mixed media sculpture, paintings, and works on paper, she explores floods not only as natural phenomena; but also the complex interaction of social, cultural, and political factors associated with flooding and its aftermath. galleries.lafayette.edu [email protected] 610 330 5361 1.

  • ALISON SAAR American, B. 1956 Cotton Eater II, 2014 Woodcut Print on Paper Friends of Art Acquisition Fund, 2015.15 Cotton Eater II
    ALISON SAAR American, b. 1956 Cotton Eater II, 2014 Woodcut print on paper Friends of Art Acquisition Fund, 2015.15 Cotton Eater II Alison Saar (b. 1956) Born and raised in the Los Angeles area, Alison Saar has art in her blood. Her parents, Betye Saar, a well-known African American artist, and Richard Saar, an art conservationist, inspired her to become a sculptor. Saar earned her BA from Scripps College in 1978 and her MFA from the Otis Art Institute in 1981. As a mixed-race woman, Saar focuses her artwork on issues of identity and spirituality. Inspired by various cultural mythologies, she uses a wide array of materials to construct her own storytelling devices that deal with the most human of subject matter: fertility, parenthood, and birthing, as well as political issues of racial and gender identity and equality. A product of its time Alison Saar created Cotton Eater II during a time in the United States where the poor and working classes felt marginalized by extreme wealth and corporate influence, as evidenced by the Occupy Wall Street movement that began in 2011 and a lingering criticism of the government’s response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Nine years later, at the time this print was made, the Lower Ninth Ward (a predominately black New Orleans neighborhood) had still not recovered from the devastation. Take a closer look Inspired by the Greek myth of the Lotus-Eaters that appears in Homer’s The Odyssey and perhaps Vincent Van Gogh’s painting, The Potato Eaters, Saar depicts a poor, African American woman eating cotton.

  • Gallery Guide As You Look Closely at the Artworks
    LOOK. Listen. Learn. Act. January 9 - June 14, 2021 LOOK. Listen. Learn. Act. Focus West Gallery: January 9 - June 14, 2021 Every year, the JSMA partners with the University of Oregon’s Common Reading—campus-wide programming around a shared book and its themes—to organize a Common Seeing exhibition that explores and expands on the Common Reading through visual art. The 2020-21 novel is This is My America by UO Assistant Vice Pro- vost for Advising, Kimberly Johnson. The Common Reading’s charge of Listen. Learn. Act. incorporates different bodies of work across multiple platforms, focusing on Blackness, Black experience, and dismantling racism. The JSMA’s “Common Seeing” features works by Hank Willis Thomas and Alison Saar from the collection of Jordan D. Schnitzer and works by Lezley Saar and Kara Walker from the JSMA’s permanent collection. Even if you have not yet read This is My America, consider the quotes from author Kimberly Johnson and the book’s protagonist, Tracy Beaumont, included in this gallery guide as you look closely at the artworks. The art of Hank Willis Thomas, Kara Walker, and sisters Alison and Lezley Saar compels us to look, listen, learn, and act. As you view each work, compare and contrast how the four artists address Blackness and the Black experi- ence. Open yourself up to what the objects are saying to you. Learn about the subjects, references, histories, and stories that inspire these artists. Do the imagery or messages shared by the artists reflect any of your personal experiences? What will you do to dismantle racism? The JSMA believes that art can move people to change.

  • Feminist Studies > Reclaiming Histories: Betye and Alison Saar, Feminism, and the Representation of Black Womanhood
    Reclaiming Histories: Betye and Alison Saar, Feminism, and the Representation of Black Womanhood Jessica Dallow The feminist movement has given me more professional exposure. But I resist that now, just like I resist exhibiting in African Amer- ican artists' shows. I've always worked the same way, and haven't done anything I would consider "feminist art." –Betye Saar Yes, I am a feminist. I was involved with the Women's Space [Womanspace] here in Los Angeles. Feminism for me implies more like humanism, just accepting yourself and knowing that it's okay to be the way you are. For me the ultimate goal is to be a whole person and to accept the outcome. –Betye Saar People aren't really ready to deal with fierce female passion. –Alison Saar Betye Saar considers herself a feminist; however she resists designating her artwork as such. Similarly, Alison Saar, Betye's daughter, avoids labeling her own art as feminist.1 Yet, both artists have helped to shape a feminist consciousness in the arts since the early 1970s through their probing constructions of autobiography, self-identity, family, and the fe- male body: a consciousness circulating around the historical develop- ment of the African American female nude. Betye's early ideas of spiritu- ality and ethnicity, shaped in the early 1970s, have germinated within her daughter, evidenced by Alison's bust- and full-length nude, non- white female figures of the 1980s and 1990s. The Saars' intergenera- tional explorations of race, history, and the black female body represent a crucial step to reclaim the contentious history surrounding the visual representation of African American women.

  • Betye & Alison Saar
    1 Betye & Alison Saar Conjure Women of The Arts Time: 15 minutes Study Guide INTRODUCTION Betye & Alison Saar: Conjure Women of the Arts is a film about two artists, a mother and a daughter who regard themselves as colleagues, "sisters" and friends. Their relationship, contrary to competitive Western values, is more like those in African and Asian traditions, where parents commonly pass on their creative skills and knowledge. Betye Saar describes the connection as a relay race: “I've been running with my art all these years, and it's as if I have the baton and I reach back to Alison and she takes off. We're not in competition. Alison's not under my wing or my eye. I'm really proud of her. But you see, we're running the art relay for the art." Quote from article compiled by Susan Latempa for Datebook, Los Angeles. Both women use found objects in their artworks and are influenced by a variety of religions and cultures, including astrology and the occult, but each works in a unique way. Betye tends to keep the objects intact in her work, while Alison is more likely to change them in some way before incorpor-ating them in her pieces. Much of Betye's work is assemblage and collage; Alison's is sculptural, often figures with secret compartments filled with surprising artifacts and images. Both have separate careers and live on opposite ends of the country - Betye in Los Angeles and Alison in Brooklyn. Their first collaboration shown in this film was done in 1990 and reveals both their shared spirit, talent and skill and also their separate and distinct identities as women and artists.

Saar explores issues surrounding identity, fertility and aging, in her life-size free-standing forms, wall sculptures and works on paper. The artist uses a variety of found and recycled materials including wood, reclaimed ceiling tile and tar. Four bronze wall sculptures are titled after the lunar seas named by Galileo: Sea of Serenity, Sea of Nectar, Sea of Moisture and Sea of Fecundity (all 2008). Each piece focuses on a part of the body: Sea of Serenity – a face covered in moths; Sea of Nectar – breasts from which streams of milk emanate; Sea of Moisture – a torso covered in droplets that might be blood or sweat or tears, and Sea of Fecundity – an abdomen from which branches sprout pomegranates. Saar also uses bronze to create the roots that emanate from the reposing figure entitled Bareroot, 2007. Several large works on paper offer evocative images addressing issues of identity and gender. Saar has been artist-in-residence at the Studio Museum in Harlem, New York City, in 1983; Roswell Museum of Art, New Mexico, in 1985; Washington Project for the Arts, Washington, D.C., in 1986; and Hopkins Center, Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire in 2003.

Transfer from Tandem Press, 2020.8.53 Fall 2020 Faculty Curriculum: Resiliency and Surviving Trauma Artist Biography I wanted to make art that told a story, that would engage people. I wanted them to be moved by my work, whether it was specifically what my intentions were or not did not matter. I wanted them to be drawn in and affected by my sculpture. —Alison Saar 1 Through sculptures, assemblages, drawings, prints, and installations, artist Alison Saar (American, b. 1956) explores interconnected issues of race, gender, history, and politics, especially as it concerns the experiences of women. Born and raised in California, Saar is the biracial daughter of acclaimed artist Betye Saar and painter and art conservator Richard Saar. Growing up as a light-skinned person of mixed race, she felt rejected from both white and black communities and subsequently feels that her artworks “are between two worlds.”2 She recalled in high school, “A group of us hung together: a gay male, a woman who was Native American, a black woman who was raised in the white suburbs, and myself. We clung to each other. No one recognized us in any form.”3 [implications in her sculpture] She earned a BA in studio art and art history from Scripps college, where her study of non-Western art history was very influential to her future art. From there, she earned a MFA from Otis Parsons Institute (now Otis College of Art and Design) in 1981.
