Title A name given to the resource Women Beyond Borders Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Women Beyond Borders Art Collection founded by Lorraine Serena Description An account of the resource Donated in 2023, Women Beyond Borders showcases the transformative gift of the archives and artworks from the multisite, cross-cultural exhibition project, Women Beyond Borders, founded by UCSB alum, Lorraine Serena (B.A. ’63, M.F.A. ‘75) in 1991. The project started with a small wooden box (measuring 3 1/2 by 2 by 2 1/2 inches) and an enticing invitation to women around the world—to transform this small container to one's liking. More than 900 people across 50 countries accepted it. The exhibition explores how Women Beyond Borders fostered experimental spaces for doing-it-oneself and doing-it-together, highlighted artistic media often dismissed for being in the realm of women, and challenged—through feminist practice and collectivity—hurdles for artistic freedom and expression in a wide array of geopolitical contexts.

Title A name given to the resource LYE, Dorathy Description An account of the resource Make Up, 2001 Wood box, perfume bottles, make-up containers and brushes, mirror "The title, Make Up, is chosen as it refers not only to the cosmetics we women apply on our faces, but also to other connotations--to fabricate, to supplement, to collect, to put together, to parcel, to put into shape, and to arrange-- all of which formed part of the procss in its making. Make Up looks at the notion of wholeness with reference to the obsession women to be or be seen as psychologically and physically sufficient. The mirror on the top of the box reflects the viewer's face, thus engaging/making him/her as a subject. Hence, the artwork questions a woman's need and her behavior in wanting to "fit in" through the act of supplementing her appearance with cosmetics. Is the woman's quest to Make Up her complete self destined to fail?" - Dorathy Lye Created in Singapore Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2001 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource LYE, Dorathy Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Women Beyond Borders Art Collection founded by Lorraine Serena Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context 2023.005.356 cosmetics make-up makeup portrait Sculpture wooden box
