The Lunder Institute for American Art Bay Area Think Tank 2026: Artist Legacies and Archives

August 31, 2026 No Comments

What a week! I participated in the Lunder Institute Bay Area Think Tank – an initiative that brings together artists, scholars, museum professionals, and culture bearers across disciplines and communities to engage in dialogue around Artists’ Legacies and Archive focusing on female artists and their archives, specifically Hung Liu and her cohort of Bay Area artists, to explore best practices for preserving their career-spanning bodies of work and broadening the art historical canon. Brought together by the brilliant Erica Wall we  gathered at the Hung Liu studio, BAMFA, Bancroft Library UC Berkeley, Oakland Museum of California, de Young Museum and Stanford Cantor Arts Center. The conversations were recorded and will be part of the Lunder Institute’s Audio Archive, which will be hosted via JSTOR within the Colby College Library for educational purposes. It’s made me think much more deeply about archives, what we preserve, protect and learn from and how there is such an effort to erase histories. So great to be with Mildred Howard and hear her talk about her retrospective exhibition at OMCA and Amalia Mesa-Bains whose archives we visited at The Cantor Arts Center and  so much more…here are a few pictures!

The 1970’s exhibit at Jeffrey Deitch Gallery in Los Angeles and The Great Wall Symphony at Disney Philharmonic Concert Hall with Iñárritu and Dudamel on March 7th 2026! I’m so honored to be on the Artist Team and see my drawing contributions integrated into the 1970’s Section. Also so wonderful to be with our group of kick ass muralists! The symphony performed at by the LA Philharmonic for the GW was astounding and meeting the composers so much fun.

Smithsonian Archives of American Art

November 19, 2025 No Comments

I just shipped 13 boxes to the Smithsonian Archives of American Art filled with my papers, designs, correspondence, notebooks, curriculum, exhibition documentation, project folders, books, CDs, DVDs and more.It has been an incredible and difficult process over this last year to go through decades of work and organize it. As much as I have learned and grown there is a thread that runs through, a quest that has been a constant inquiry. It will be a while before its available to the public but this part is done!
