PAST EXHIBITION
Vexing: Female Voices from East LA Punk
May 17, 2008—August 31, 2008
The burgeoning punk rock and new-wave music scene of the late 1970s and
early 1980s in East Los Angeles provided an electrically charged,
creative climate where performance mixed with poetry and visual culture
was defined by an aesthetic and an attitude. Artists and musicians
mixed and blurred the lines of actions, documentation, photography,
sound and style. Many women were active in this era, developing and
establishing new modalities of cultural production while fostering
shifts in gender roles and social politics.
