Eve Fowler

A group exhibition hosted by the Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE), featuring Fowler's filmworks alongside with the works of feminist artists A.L. Steiner and Emily Roysdon. Emphasis was placed on themes such as cronyism, feminism, nepotism, elements of reaffirmation that depended on the reorganization of history from portraying ‘the women’ and ‘the gays,’ as outsiders to now insiders.

Fowler is also a recipient of the 2017 Art Matters grant, and was a 2019 fellow with Harvard's Radcliffe Institute.

In 2007, Fowler received the California Community Foundation Award for her photographic work that compassed the variety of aesthetic approaches, disciplines, and reflected the eclectic character of the Los Angeles contemporary art scene.

Fowler's most notable work includes her series of texts appropriating Gertrude Stein's poetry, and her portraits of male hustlers in New York and Los Angeles in the 90s. Identifying as a lesbian and feminist, Fowler's work tries to identify what she perceives as male biases in language and culture and reframe them around sex-positive, feminist, and queered images. For example, her 2005 portrait of performance artist K8 Hardy recalls Austrian feminist, VALERIE EXPORT's 1969 work Action Pants: Genital Panic by depicting Hardy in her studio, sitting wide legged with the crotch cut out of her jeans.

Fowler received her BA in Journalism from Temple University in 1986, and her MFA in photography from Yale University in 1992. Her work has been included in group exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, Hammer Museum, Yerba Buena Center, and San Francisco Museum of Art.
