The Whatcom Museum in Bellingham, Wash. presents the first retrospective exhibition of the work of nationally acclaimed artist Ed Bereal, a consummate draftsman and object maker. Bereal made a significant contribution to the arts of assemblage and performance in L.A. during the 1960s and ‘70s. His work contains provocative imagery and messages that address identity and racial inequity, violence and war, and political and corporate power. The exhibition includes key works in all media that blend Bereal’s unique synthesis of abstraction and representation and the melding of art with new technologies.
