Video still from previously unreleased video interview/performance between Lowell Darling and Willoughby Sharp, Hollywood, 1973. On view at Krowswork Gallery, Oakland, as part of Lowell Darling: This Is Your Life, opening Feb. 25.
Lowell Darling: This Is Your Life at Krowswork Gallery in Oakland will feature videos, ephemera, and stories by this stalwart of the California conceptual art scene of the 1970s. Running concurrently with the Pacific Standard Time exhibition State of Mind exhibition at the Berkeley Art Museum, which includes several works by Darling, this show will focus on representative vignettes from Darling's entire career and will also present a number of videos that have never been publicly shown. Among them are an extensive, entertaining, meandering, 1973 interview-cum-performance with Darling by curator, publisher, and impresario Willoughby Sharp, co-founder of the influential Avalanche magazine, as well as a video from 2007 in which Darling visits Croatia with a war refugee in search of her piano teacher, and together they plan a Monument to the Unborn Soldier. In the hands of this laid-back, storytelling agit-propist, art, politics, conversation, and chance come together as a captifying paean to the artist/citizen.
