Woman's Building History: Great Lady Rising (Otis College)

As told through photos and interviews with Cheri Gaulke, Leslie Labowitz, and Cheryl Swannack, this is the story of installing artist-in-residence Kate Millet's statue to the top of the Woman's Building in 1977.

This video was commissioned by Otis College of Art and Design for the exhibition "Doin' It in Public: Feminism and Art at the Woman's Building" (1973-1991) in the Ben Maltz Gallery, October 1 January 28, 2012 and is part of an ongoing series of oral histories about the Woman's Building partially funded by the Getty Foundation.

The exhibition is part of a "Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A.1945-1980," an unprecedented collaboration of more than fifty cultural institutions across Southern California, which are coming together to tell the story of the birth of the LA art scene. Initiated through grants from the Getty Foundation, Pacific Standard Time will take place for six months beginning October 2011.
