Suggestions From Nature
by Temporary Agency
Panel Discussion:
February 1, 2015 from 4-6pm
855 Wyckoff Ave
Temporary Agency will host a panel discussion involving several women who have founded arts spaces, including Suzanne Jackson, whose work is on display in the gallery. In the 1960s, Jackson converted her studio space in Los Angeles into Gallery 32, where she hosted discussions, fundraisers for social causes and exhibited politically engaged work from emerging artists such as Senga Nengudi, David Hammons and Betye Saar.
Artist Bio:
Born in Saint Louis in 1944, Jackson was raised in the Yukon Territory of pre-statehood Alaska, where her interest in nature and indigenous backgrounds took root. In the mid-60s, Jackson traveled throughout South America as a dancer for the Sacramento Music Circus. In Los Angeles, Jackson turned her studio into Gallery 32, hosting discussions, fund-raisers for social causes and exhibiting politically engaged work from emerging artists such as Senga Nengudi, David Hammons and Betye Saar. Jackson now lives in the low country of the South, where she has taught art at Savannah School of Art and Design since 1996. Having shown worldwide over four decades and recently included in the Now Dig This! Art and Black Los Angeles 1960-1980 exhibition at MOMA PS1, Temporary Agency would like to focus on the work Jackson is making now.
