ELEANOR ANTIN – WHAT TIME IS IT?
2016-05-16Eleanor Antin: What time is it?, is a solo exhibition of sculpture by the San Diego-based artist. This exhibition will recreate two groundbreaking installations of conceptual portraiture – CALIFORNIA LIVES (1969) and Portraits Of Eight New York Women (1970) – originally presented at alternative spaces in New York City.
Eleanor Antin’s CALIFORNIA LIVES was shown at GAIN GROUND, Robert Newman and Naomi Dash’s space on West 80th Street. The artist, who lived in Solana Beach with her husband, poet David Antin, and son Blaise, returned to New York with a series of portraits of both real and fictitious Californians that she assembled from consumer goods and household artifacts. A narrative text panel accompanied each assemblage.
Opposite – The Murfins, 1969
Exhibition runs through till June 18th, 2016
