Valley Vista: Art in the San Fernando Valley, CA, 1970-1990 Catalog
by Damon Willick
(September 2014, 143 pages)
Whether regaled as 鈥淎merica鈥檚 Suburb鈥� or ridiculed as the capital of mini-malls and Valley Girls, the San Fernando Valley is one of Los Angeles鈥檚 most misunderstood and stereotyped regions. The Fall 2014 exhibition and this accompanying catalog seeks to remedy this oversight by examining the unique contribution of the Valley to the city鈥檚 art history for the first time. Both exhibition and catalog move beyond the stereotypes and offer an alternative narrative documenting the region鈥檚 unrecognized yet unique and substantial role in LA鈥檚 emergence as a center of contemporary art activity. The exhibition catalog is written by Damon Willick, exhibition curator, with contributions from Mike Mandel, Robert Pavlik, Mark Van Proyen, Jeffrey Vallance, and Benjamin Weissman.
