━━━
(This piece is part of the exhibition titled 'WORK' on LADIES' ROOM)
In encountering the discursive history of “work” in artmaking, all of the objects assembled in WORK variously venerate labor as an essential element. WORK features 10 artists whose laborious methodologies demonstrate an indisputable meticulousness and care for their media. Selected for their quasi-obsessive dedication to their practice, each of the artists in WORK assiduously and repeatedly cut, draw, carve, sculpt, stitch, and weave their materials into complex configurations.

- 'Reality Revolution', Cotton fabrics, bleach, canvas, abstract, textile artBy Meike LeglerLocated in Los Angeles, USMeike Legler 'Reality Revolution,' 2021 Cotton fabrics and bleach over stretched canvas 20 x 16 inches Meike Legler’s works are a bold post-feminist reframing of sewn objects, recontextualized far beyond “women’s work.” In 1918 Le Corbusier said, “There is a hierarchy in the arts: decorative art at the bottom and human form at the top. Because we are men”¹ Legler craftily subverts this notion by stitching together ideas and methodologies and powerfully placing herself within the spectrum of contemporary abstract painting. Originally trained as a clothing designer at Berlin’s Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft and Central St. Martins in London, Meike Legler uses fabrics and nimble sewing machine skills to create abstract paintings, stretched like canvas over wooden stretcher bars. When she moved to Los Angeles in 2016 her paintings became more complex, with wilder ideas and influences, and she started integrating materials like automotive tarps and faux fur into her elaborate constructions. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ - BIOGRAPHY - Meike Legler has exhibited at galleries and institutions in the Los Angeles area and internationally, including Art Movement LA, Los Angeles; Stella Ripley Contemporary, Québec, Canada; E.P. & L.P., West Hollywood; Claremont Graduate University, Claremont, CA; Nous Tous, Los Angeles; and Art House LA, Pacific Palisades. Her solo exhibitions include shows at The Voyager, Los Angeles; LADIES ROOM, Los Angeles; Soho House...Category

- Large Sculpture: 'Lady Whistlesdown Baggage Cart' : Emotional Baggage CartBy Theda SandifordLocated in New York, NYMy Emotional Baggage Carts are vessels to dispose of racial trauma. The act of making, weaves the sting of macro and microaggressions into the cart, freeing me from these constraints. Each recovered shopping cart is unique, but they all are woven with upcycled materials like rope, paracord, grocery bags, rope lights, beads, fabric, and bottle caps. The cart is with a protective zip tie blanket to trap trauma and prevent its escape. For me, my Emotional Baggage Carts are a release, for you, they are an opportunity to look within and recognize any emotional baggage you, yourself may be carrying and release it.
