Doin’ It in Public: Feminism and Art at the Woman’s Building 2011-2012

Doin' It in Public: Feminism and Art at the Woman's Building was part of the Pacific Standard Time: Art in LA 1945-1980 Getty Initiative, held at Ben Maltz Gallery, Otis College of Art. Invited by Jerri Allyn and Anne Gauldin, Kelly Thompson collaborated on a group performance inspired by the four themes of the feminist art group, The Waitresses—work, money, sexual harassment, and stereotypes of women.

​

Doin’ it in Public: Feminism and Art at the Woman's Building was comprised of an exhibition and two-volume publication focused on the feminist artists and art cooperatives that were centered in and around the Los Angeles Woman's Building (downtown L.A.) in the 1970s and 1980s. 

​

Doin' It In Public was part of Pacific Standard Time: Art in LA 1945-1980, an unprecedented collaboration, initiated by the Getty, that brought together more than sixty cultural institutions from across Southern California for six months beginning in October 2011 to tell the story of the birth of the L.A. art scene.
