The five women in this exhibition are linked by a number of shared commitments. These include but are not limited to their mutual interest in feminism, photography, storytelling and by a resourceful do-it-yourself approach to presenting their own ideas made necessary by the indifference if not active hostility that greeted the work of most young women artists in 1970’s Los Angeles. The exhibition at as-is.la coincides with a show by the same name and including the same five artists at Ortuzar Projects in New York. Taken together, the rich and diverse array of artworks presented in the two iterations of “Five Women Artists in 1970s Los Angeles” powerfully and effectively illustrate the political, social and aesthetic ethos of that time and that place.

Las Vegas in the early 1970’s provided the young artist Paul Tzanetopoulos—as it did a number of older and more prominent artists, writers and architects—that rare and almost magical combination of “right place and right time.” Indeed, when architects Robert Venturi and Denise Scott-Brown were busy studying the Las Vegas strip for their groundbreaking book “Learning from Las Vegas” (1972) and when artists Michael Heizer, Walter de Maria and James Turrell were flying in and out of Las Vegas in search of sites in the surrounding deserts for their own wildly ambitious art projects, Tzanetopoulos was at work on a series of equally inventive if still little known artworks sited both inside and outside of this uniquely important city he then called home. “Paul Tzanetopoulos: Las Vegas 1972-1975” presents a selection of these vintage Las Vegas artworks together here for the first time.
