Dream House Release

  • 4859 Fountain Avenue Los Angeles, CA, 90029 United States (map)

Please join us Saturday, February 19th at 2pm for the launch of Dream House: A Collaborative Zine in Honor of the 50th Anniversary of Womanhouse. The event will feature readings by contributors Claressinka Anderson, Sarah Green, Jennifer Pilch, Jessica Dillon and Karolina Lavergne.

The launch will be held at 4859 Fountain Avenue, Los Angeles, as part of LAND's programming for the exhibition Womanhouse. This exhibition is organized by Stefano Di Paola, Senior Director and Partner of Anat Ebgi and planned in close collaboration with the many artists participating. 

Dream House marks and honors the 50th anniversary of Womanhouse. Like the destroyed physical structure of Womanhouse, the dream house is a ghost, a mirage, a utopian fantasy always in need of reconstruction. Through a collective dreaming and the use of materials old and new, we build the woman-house of today. Dream House includes the work of over ninety contributors organized into four thematic sections. Whispering Walls includes works which echo the social structures that have historically limited women’s autonomy. Body House contains renderings of the femme maison, and visceral manifestations of the body. By Her Hands considers all forms of women’s labor from mothering, housework, handiwork, and emotional labor. The final section, New Constructions, contains works that refuse easy notions of the feminine or present imaginings of utopian herlands.

Copies of the zine will be available for purchase during the launch, and online in late February.
