Connections (Los Angeles) 1978/2023, conceived by the late artist Rosemary Mayer and reenacted in Beverly Hills by the artist's estate, will celebrate the community of artists in Southern California and their connections to time, place, and nature. Several oversized latex balloon "monuments" designed by local artists will float over The Wallis' Promenade Terrace during a one-day event.
Rosemary Mayer (1943-2014) was an American visual artist closely associated with the feminist art movement of the 1970s. She was a founding member of A.I.R. Gallery, the first all-female artists' cooperative space in the United States, and is known for her public happenings. This one-day presentation will be concurrent with a two part exhibition of the artist's work at Hannah Hoffman Gallery in Los Angeles and Marc Selwyn Fine Art in Beverly Hills.
