This is an absolutely thrilling contemporary art piece. It is simply wonderful. I adore it. I saw both these pieces in Santa Monica displayed in a show. The kitchen piece was outstanding not just for its' feat of beadwork but she had incorporated words from female poets and authors in various places through out the work.
It made a statement on many levels. But the backyard cookout became just a feat At times it's just trite and easy beads on pre-existing objects mostly executed by her team of tribal beaders in South Africa. To me it's more that she exploits the situation that was handed to her through contacts that maneuvered her into the spotlight.
Her first piece was purchased by Mr. Norton famed collector at the suggestion of other noted collectors on the modern art scene. There is merit to some of her work but a lot of it is startlingly empty of art and more banal than anything else. During the intervening years she waitressed and sold prom dresses to support her monumental solo artistic undertaking. While following her singular vision, her life grew increasingly solitary.
And she had to abruptly vacate another place after an earthquake rendered it condemned. Eventually she landed at a spacious, affordable loft apartment in downtown San Diego, where she could set up the kitchen in its entirety and stay put for a couple years. During these years of upheaval and budding artistry, Lou was learning as she went, building the ship as she sailed it, to adapt a phrase from a Kay Ryan poem she likes.
The central materials and questions that drive her art — How can art serve society? What is her responsibility as an artist? After completing the kitchen, Lou hosted a small gathering at her loft in celebration. People kept leaving and returning with more people, surrounding the piece. After that, the work, made of components packed into 16 crates for storage, embarked on a decade or so of exhibitions across the US, as well as Japan, Norway, Germany, Israel, and beyond.
The physical demands of making such labor-intensive work by herself proved physically unsustainable. Sign up for our email newsletters! Join the conversation.
