ONE Offs: DROP OUTS
November 15 from 7:00-9:00 PM
What happens when an artist drops out of the art world? What has driven thousands of women to gather at a separatist music festival in Michigan for the past 35 years? How can we interpret the decision of one woman to boycott communication with other women? Drop by the world’s largest LGBTQ research collection on Monday, November 15th to explore these questions through new projects about the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival and the legacy of American artist Lee Lozano (1930-1999).
Guests enter the discussion following brief show-and-tell presentations by writer/curator Sarah Lehrer-Graiwer, actor/musician Daniela Sea and artist/organizer Onya Hogan-Finlay. Refreshments will be served. (See address and link to google map below)
ONE Offs: DROP OUTS will feature presentations by...
Onya Hogan-Finlay is a Canadian-born artist, organizer and MFA candidate at the Roski School of Fine Arts at USC. She co-founded the touring exhibition projet MOBILIVRE-BOOKMOBILE project (2001-2005) and her drawings have appeared in LTTR, The Younger Than Jesus Artist Directory and C Magazine.
Onya will show documentation from a recent action entitled, What Would Lee Lozano Do? that she performed while working as
a sign painter at the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival. This project explores
individual and collective expressions of separatism through the lens of an art historical subject and a temporary feminist community.
Sarah Lehrer-Graiwer is an art writer and curator in Los Angeles pursuing ongoing research on Lee Lozano. Earlier this year, she organized Joint Dialogue, an exhibition examining the relationships between Lozano, Dan Graham and Stephen Kaltenbach for which a catalogue is forthcoming.
Sarah will present work from her on-going research about artist, Lee Lozano. A radical figure
committed to "total revolution simultaneously personal and public," Lee
Lozano left us a still-volatile body of work--drawings, paintings, text,
documents--that continue to resist assimilation long after she dropped
out of the New York art world in the early 1970s, moving beyond art.
Daniela Sea is an actor, artist and musician based in Los Angeles. She brings her creative west coast perspective and extensive traveling experiences to her roles in film and video work, including Shortbus (2006) and The L Word (2004-2009).
Daniela will be joined by Eden Batki to share stories and images from their hybrid installation, Archive Project.
Collaborating with artist Dawn Kasper and photographer Eden Batki, Daniela captured interviews on
site at the Michigan Womyn's music festival in August of 2010. This work-in-progress
represents, preserves and archives the voices of over 150 of the multi
generational and culturally diverse women at the 35th annual Festival.
