The Body, Domestic Labor & Material Feminism

Five shows currently on view in Los Angeles consider the body, domestic labor, and material feminism from different generational and cultural positions. The works range from 1970s performance-inflected drawing to hand-dyed textile sculpture to ceramics recasting the language of Minimalism, but a shared preoccupation runs through all of them: what happens when materials and spaces coded as feminine are treated as the primary site of artistic inquiry.

Hannah Wilke: Drawings and Performalist Self-Portraits

Drawings and Performalist Self-Portraits

Drawings and Performalist Self-Portraits is a solo exhibition of works by the late artist Hannah Wilke. A pioneering figure in feminist art, Wilke (1940-1993) explored issues of beauty, gender, and western cultural convention with a diverse approach that included photography, performance, video, sculpture and drawing. Poignant and arresting, Wilke’s work melds Post-Minimalism, second wave feminism and Abstract Expressionism, making her one of the most influential yet under-recognized artists of the late 20th century.

Michelle Grabner: Trautes Heim

Trautes Heim

Trautes Heim, German for "home sweet home,” is an exhibition of new work by Michelle Grabner examining domestic space, labor, and power. Cast bronze brooms and slip-cast porcelain cabbages and potatoes fill the gallery in a sprawling installation, evoking overproduction and excess. Wall works—bronze tablecloths, ceramic potholders, wooden reliefs studded with jar lids—unite repetition, pattern, and craft. Throughout, humble domestic objects are recast in industrial materials, revealing the hierarchies embedded in everyday life.

Rachel Lachowicz: Cockeyed

Cockeyed

Cockeyed is a survey of Rachel Lachowicz’s work spanning 1991-2026. The exhibition brings into focus a sustained practice that returns to and reconstructs established forms—cubes, grids, and bodies—using materially coded substances such as lipstick, powder, and wax. Rather than separating form from its history, Lachowicz keeps that connection intact, altering how it is carried and encountered. The form remains, but rebuilt in these materials, it operates under different terms.

Maria A. Guzmán Capron: Siluetas Simultáneas

Siluetas Simultáneas

In Siluetas Simultáneas, Guzmán Capron constructs figures from hand-dyed, hand-painted textiles that function as anthropomorphic dressing screens, with abstracted forms shielding more legible figures beneath. Partially veiled, the figures engage in moments of pleasure and rest, enabling states of guarded vulnerability while inviting the gaze of the viewers. Each textile is produced from scratch, dyed and assembled like a garment. Across the works, figures merge and separate, holding multiplicity without resolving it—identity kept open, plural, and unfinished.

unni (언니)

unni (언니)

unni (언니) takes its name from the Korean term of kinship used by women to address older individuals of the same gender, a word that encodes premises of social structure, subjectivity, sexuality, and community. The term strikes a balance between care and responsibility: unni is expected to know better, to guide the younger ones. Embracing its various layers as a guiding framework, the exhibition brings together works by Candice Lin, Haneyl Choi, Dongho Kang, Grim Park, and Cirilo Domine, emphasizing surface, tactility, openness, and intimacy to probe the radical possibilities of this ordinary word.
