Comprising over 150 works that include participatory and multi-media installations, photographic, video, and audio works, early graphic pieces, and textual interventions, the exhibition highlights Silton as a key figure in West Coast conceptual, feminist, and queer genealogies of art and design. Making its debut alongside the exhibition is Civilized Voices, a site-specific public project inspired by a series of billboards erected by Aline Barnsdall at Barnsdall Park in the 1940s. As an homage to Barnsdall’s iconoclastic use of billboards for social and political messaging, Silton has commissioned five Los Angeles-area poets (Rocío Carlos, Cathy Lin Che, Erin Marie Lynch, Lynne Thompson, and Terry Wolverton) to write new works that will be featured on five hand-painted billboards sited during the exhibition among the pine trees in front of the gallery.
