"Liza Lou: Bead the World"
2000-03-11 until 0000-00-00
Akron Art Museum
Akron, OH, USA United States of America

Liza Lou takes mundane objects and scenes of suburban domestic bliss and transforms them into dazzling reflections on the American ideal. The Kitchen-a 168 square foot room size installation in which every surface is covered with glittering glass beads-took five years to complete; The Backyard, with over 250,000 hand-beaded blades of grass took two. In between, Liza beaded the American Presidents, an installation containing 42 beaded portraits of our country's leaders.

Obsessive and thrilling, Liza Lou's extraordinary meditations on the ordinary address serious issues including the value of women's work, the dominance of white males in our political structure, and society's need to domesticate the outdoors. This exhibtion was organized by the Akron Art Museum.
