Laband Art Gallery This is a free gallery located at Loyola Marymount University to showcase artist ranging from studen

The Laband Art Gallery is dedicated to presenting exhibitions and public programs that illustrate that the visual arts are a critical component of society. As a university art gallery, the Laband features exclusive exhibitions that may not be found in other civic or private museums. In doing so, the gallery showcases art that has relevance across multiple disciplines as well the broader community. Since 1984, the gallery has produced approximately three exhibitions per school year, including Young Contemporaries: Annual Juried Student Art Exhibition. The gallery also collaborates with various departments on campus to create related public programs that help enrich the experience garnered from each exhibition. We hope you’ll visit us often, and find intriguing exhibitions that will spark dialogue, generate unexpected ideas and inspire your own creativity.

I’m delighted to share a selection of “behind-the-scenes” images from my career in collaboration with the Laband Art Gallery. I’ve been working in sculpture for over five decades, ever since my first exhibited piece, “Boob Tree,” was selected to be shown at the Winnipeg Art Gallery in 1975.

My solo exhibition, “Phyllis Green: Of My Own Making,” is on view at the Laband through December 5 and highlights more than 25 pieces from the last 15 years of my career. Stay tuned for details about my upcoming walkthroughs on Wed. Oct. 28 and Sat. Nov. 14!

A theme in the exhibition “Phyllis Green: Of My Own Making” is the making of monuments, which traditionally commemorate people, events, or moments in history. An array of work in Green’s survey proposes a different kind of monument. They celebrate the creative process itself — the years of looking, learning, teaching, experimenting, and making that shape an artist’s life. Monumentality here is measured not only by scale, but by time, persistence, and imagination.

Following her upbringing in Canada, Phyllis Green moved to California to pursue graduate studies in art. She received an M.F.A. from UCLA in 1981, after which she began her professional career as an artist, educator, and curator in Los Angeles. From 1989 to 2011 she served as Adjunct Faculty in the Art Department at Loyola Marymount University.

Green is the recipient of numerous individual artist’s fellowships including the National Endowment for the Arts, the California Arts Council, and the Pollock-Krasner Foundation. She was among the first group of artists to be awarded a C.O.L.A. grant by the City of Los Angeles in 1996. She has received project grants from the City of Santa Monica and the Durfee Foundation and was named a Fellow in Fine Arts by the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, New York, in 2014. Most recently, Green was recognized with a CCF Senior Fellowship for Visual Arts in 2019.

The Laband is delighted to debut a 15-year survey of Los Angeles-based artist Phyllis Green. Green’s practice is an ongoing exploration of her lived experience—examining both her own physicality and how the human form is collectively represented. The exhibition includes more than 25 of Green’s insightful and witty sculptural, wearable, and performative objects that interact directly with the body and its environs.

It is with great pride and reverence that we share highlights of the Laband ‘s 1987 David Hockney’s solo show “Portrait Drawings 1966-1984” curated by our founding director Ellen Ekedal (1942 – 2024). This exhibition included more than 70 superlative works on paper depicting the artist’s close circle of friends and family and executed in crayon, ink, charcoal, and pencil. The accompanying catalog “Faces 1966-1984”—designed and authored by Hockney himself—transformed the artist’s artworks through the experimental use of an office photocopier.
RIP David Hockney
