1 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Peter M. Warren Assistant Director, Communications and Media , Kim Abeles: Art and Activism Laband Art Gallery Presents L.A. Artist Kim Abeles Distinctive Explorations of the Urban Environment, Sept. 11 to Nov. 21 LOS ANGELES The Laband Art Gallery at Loyola Marymount University opens Kim Abeles: Art and Activism on Sept. 11. There will be a reception from 4 to 6 p.m. L.A. artist Kim Abeles mines the urban environment with a great sense of curiosity. She incorporates both conventional and unorthodox media from using smog particles to quilting with trash to explore broad social topics. She uses metaphors and humor to bring our attention to crucial issues such as pollution, gender roles, civil rights and even traffic.

2 The exhibition features Abeles most-recent work, as well as a selection from the past three decades. It focuses on three broad themes that have served as important threads throughout her career: women s lives and women s issues, civil rights and environmental issues. The exhibition reveals her keen perspectives on tough social issues and her distinctive style compels us to examine these problems afresh. In Abeles life and work aesthetics and activism blend seamlessly. In her series Biographical Portraits ( ) Abeles immersed herself in the lives of notable women from different eras such as Saint Bernadette, the young visionary of Lourdes ( ); Mother Ann, the founder of the Shakers ( ); and the frontierswoman Calamity Jane ( ). Abeles has said that the Biographical Portraits series exists on a pivot point between fact and fiction, taking into account the subjectivity of our perceptions and data. In each case, she created at least one large-scale sculpture, accompanied by auxiliary works such as drawings and maps, that encapsulates different legendary aspects of her subject s life. More recently, Abeles has creatively explored important current women s issues in her artwork. Her ethereal Digit Count In Smog and Us (2010) points to the connection between pollution and breast cancer. The large-scale, multi-panel work, made using her unique process to capture particulate matter (smog) on cellulose, shows a different circle for each 1,000 women who were diagnosed with breast cancer in the past year. The random placement of the circles on each panel speaks to the lack of control we have over the disease. Domestic violence is the subject of Pearls of Wisdom (2010), a collaborative project organized by Window Between Worlds, where Abeles works with female victims from shelters statewide. It uses the pearl, a treasure inside an oyster, as a metaphor to explore how survivors of domestic violence can grow beyond these experiences to live healthy, positive lives. Human rights are another thread that weaves through much of Abeles art. Two of her most powerful works focus on African-Americans and the Civil Rights Movement. To Sit As Ladder (In Honor of Rosa Parks) (1991) is a chair that has been altered to create a ladder; the rungs of the ladder/chair are filled with text giving quotes and a chronology describing the life of the civil rights activist Rosa Parks. Documents K-12 (2004) highlights the landmark 1954 Supreme Court decision that made racial school segregation illegal throughout the United States. Abeles created a table covered with felt and inlaid with objects related to education and the struggle for equal education for everyone. The round, green-felt table reminds viewers that 2

3 like poker, education is also a game of chance. Several poignant works on the subject of the AIDS epidemic will also be presented. Some of Abeles best-known works revolve around the subject of environmental issues. Since the 1980s, Abeles has combined her artistic talents with her personal commitment to create powerful works that tackle environmental issues. Abeles developed several systems to sample and measure air quality which eventually led to her Smog Collector series, a project/process that is ongoing. She places adhesive materials and Plexiglass overlaid with stencils on roofs around the city for extended periods to collect particulate matter, i.e. smog. When she removes the stencils a design made from smog is left. Along with Digit Count, this exhibit presents a number of other smog pieces made including Earth Clock II (1998) and Zoe s Highchair (1991). These pieces convey a striking message with humor and ironic beauty. Abeles exposes other environmental and urban issues via her artwork in recent pieces such as Dodger Stadium (2007) that maps the relatively few trees in downtown L.A., as well as Signs of Life (2007), which maps the homeless encampments in downtown L.A. The Great Periodic Migration (1983) humorously comments on L.A. s traffic problem by replacing cars and the humans who drive them with rows and rows of cicadas that you can almost hear buzzing over the photo of a congested highway. The exhibition reveals Abeles indefatigable compassion and curiosity. She digs deep into each subject that she takes on. With sensitivity and innovation she finds ways to express multiple perspectives about tough, large social issues. Her distinctive style and humor pulls us in and gets us to examine these crucial problems afresh. In Abeles life and work aesthetics and activism blend seamlessly. MORE ABOUT KIM ABELES Kim Abeles was born in Richmond Heights, Missouri, in She earned her B.F.A. from Ohio University and her M.F.A. from UC Irvine. The Smog Collector series brought her work national and international attention, including mainstream sources such as Newsweek, National Public Radio, CBS Evening News and The Wall Street Journal. 3
