“Hildegarde Duane: Wild Honey Meets Togetherman.”
A Revisionist 50’s Superhero Love Story.
Eros! Politics! Chemistry!
Featuring a music video, photo pieces, costumes and artifacts.
Los Angeles based Conceptual artist Hildegarde Duane has since 1976 made narrative art in videos, photo stories, costume, calligraphy and written word. Amongst multi-media precursors to the Pictures movement and associated with the flowering of video art at the Long Beach Museum of Art, her work explores pop culture, the status of place and space, socio-political commentary and erotic feminism. In addition to her solo work, Duane has collaborated extensively with artist David Lamelas as well as with Ilene Segalove (who appears here in the role of Wild Honey).
Hildegarde Duane: Wild Honey is presented in conjunction with “Jackie Castillo: Turning.” Reception for the artists is on Saturday, June 17 from three to five at as-is.la
