June 29 – August 10, 2024
Opening reception: June 29, 2:00pm to 5:00pm
Nancy Buchanan, Hildegarde Duane, Susan Mogul, Susan Singer and Nancy Youdelman
We are pleased to announce “Five Women Artists in 1970’s Los Angeles,” a group exhibition featuring mostly vintage and some recent artworks by Nancy Buchanan, Hildegarde Duane, Susan Mogul, Susan Singer and Nancy Youdelman. The exhibition opens on Saturday, June 29 and continues through August 10. Opening reception for the artists is on Saturday, June 29 from 2:00pm to 5:00pm at as-is.la
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.
