This new pyrotechnic performance by Judy Chicago is inspired by her 1970 Atmosphere performance at Pomona College. This new work returns to the series of environmental/performance works, called Atmospheres, that she staged around California between 1969 and 1974. These works combined commercial fireworks and road flares in ephemeral “paintings” of colored smoke that hovered and dissipated in air currents. Chicago explained the work as a way to soften and feminize the environment. These works may be seen as a bridge between earlier conceptual minimalist work and her later socio-political figurative work.
