Opening reception on Saturday, May 17th, with live performances by several artists in the exhibition. The burgeoning punk rock music scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s in East Los Angeles provided an electrically charged, creative climate. This scene created an atmosphere where performance mixed with poetry, and visual culture was defined by an aesthetic and an attitude. Artists and musicians interfaced and blurred the lines of actions, documentation, photography, sound and style. Taking its name from the all-ages music club The Vex, once housed within East Los Angeles’ Self Help Graphics and Art, Vexing is an historical investigation of the women who were at the forefront of this movement of experimentation in music, art, culture and politics, while exploring their lasting legacies and contemporary practices. This documentary-style exhibition will include photo, video and audio archives of the era as well as studio work encompassing painting, installation, writings and performance. 536 W First, Claremont. 909-621-3200 www.claremontmuseum.org Meetings Claremont City Neighborhood Forum, Claremont Library 6/17 Chaparral School, 9/16 Hughes Communtiy Center, 12/21 Padua Hills Theater.
