Lights of Women: an international exhibition in Gwangju, Korea Fall 2012
As part of a delegation of women from the Pacific Northwest, I was invited to exhibit work in Gwangju Korea. Lights of Women featured work by over 140 women artists from around the world, was sponsored by the Geumnamro Gallery of the Gwangju Art Museum and opened during the opening week of the Gwangju Biennale.

Cultural Sensibilities: Back from Daegu, Korea
join me for a talk at Sev Shoon Arts Center, Ballard Art Works
2862 NW Market Street, Third Floor, Seattle 98107
Thursday, January 26, 2012
7pm
for information: 206.782.7455 or alicedubiel@planetart.us
Traveling with members of the Oregon chapter of the Women's Caucus for Art, and members of IRIDA from Moscow, Russia, we were graciously hosted by colleagues in Daegu and Gwangju, Korea. Our work was exhibited in three Korean cities and we toured numerous cultural treasures, ancient and contemporary. I will share images in a talk, and have catalogues for perusal. Cultural Sensibilities has been the title of a series of exhibitions in Portland, Daegu and Moscow offering opportunities for cultural exchanges in friendship. Community artists from Korea and Russia are inspiring and share perspectives on our work environments, education and political contexts.

Approaching Biocenology: Meditations on the Wild and the Sacred
A Statement
I like to explore different landscape representations to express my personal experiences and cultural interactions with geography. I am interested in the conflicts which arise from our expectations about land use, expectations shaped by idealized art and design images and our vernacular urban setting. By employing the approach of pattern and decoration, I would like to create a different language referring to many traditions including maps, Roman and Byzantine mosaics, Japanese decorative art, textile design, indigenous Australian paintings and shrine technologies of many cultures. I like to use the term biocenology in this interface of cultural and natural systems because it is the study of communities and member interactions in nature; it is an exploration of systems, part of the science of ecology.
Much of my work over the past twenty years expresses the theme–Land Use: An Alchemical Treatise to explore the connections between our belief systems about society and how we treat the planet, each other.
Currently I work with acrylic, encaustic, mixed media and printmaking approaches. Some paintings feature topographic maps which I photocopy onto handmade paper. Others incorporate images or formal structures. Upon this layer, I lay acrylic or encaustic washes; sometimes more than one to build luminosity and relate to the landscape. Then I add stamped images of animals such as fish, birds and eggs and seeds, using brilliantly colored and iridescent pigments derived from mica. With these techniques, I am trying to express the complexity of overlapping multiplicity and the tendency of natural processes to pursue cycles of life.
In its relentless desire for control, the Western landscape tradition distances the viewer from the outdoors and people. Visual traditions and themes create a kind of language that exerts a powerful effect on social consciousness. Artists choose particular traditions and themes to explore and alter these ranges of expression. I want to create new narratives that reaffirm our ties to where we live, the planet, nature and its cycles.
Alice Dubiel January 2009
We have some technologies for aiding our quest toward consciousness, toward life-death-life cycle affirmation. These are the technologies of symbol making, experiencing community as spirit, infusing wildness with cultivation, blending the natural and the cultural with conscience. These technologies make each of us everyday artists.

REVIEWS
Alice Dubiel directly commented on “wilderness” designation itself as a mask for our destruction of the earth. Her Views and Reviews: A Wilderness Tale exposed the exploitation of nature with pithy quotes and kitsch images.
-Susan Platt, Art Papers, May-June 1999
There’s a new look at the old in Alice Dubiel’s complex and poetic piece Views and Reviews: A Wilderness Tale,... [which] alludes to the conflict between civilization and nature.
-Ron Glowen, The Herald [Everett WA], January 8, 1999
Alice Dubiel is clever: in her installation at 911 Media Arts, she wrapped what was really a polemic in engaging dress. Her five window panels, like so many holiday window displays, drew in curious passers-by.... Dubiel used the panels to present visually her thesis that our view of the landscape, and of nature, is inevitably colored by the same desires for control and order that drive our relationship with the urban realm.
-Christopher Hawthorne, Seattle Weekly, January 26, 1994
Alice Dubiel addresses the issue of nuclear threat and environmental toxicity with a series of exquisite watercolors that combine the fluid delicacy of Persian miniatures with the format of medieval illuminations.
—Claire Accomando, Artweek, November 3, 1984
Alice Dubiel, using the scroll format of traditional Eastern painting in Apocalyptic Visions, connects the “ancient burning terror” of volcanic eruption to nuclear holocaust.
—Judith Margolis, Artweek, January 9, 1988.
A positive historical note is sounded by Alice Dubiel’s painting, Lay Women Healers in Medieval Europe, which calls to mind the fact that women have also been able to heal and have often been sisters to one another.
—Louise Moore, Artweek, June 9, 1984

REVIEWS
Alice Dubiel directly commented on “wilderness” designation itself as a mask for our destruction of the earth. Her Views and Reviews: A Wilderness Tale exposed the exploitation of nature with pithy quotes and kitsch images.
-Susan Platt, Art Papers, May-June 1999
There’s a new look at the old in Alice Dubiel’s complex and poetic piece Views and Reviews: A Wilderness Tale,... [which] alludes to the conflict between civilization and nature.
-Ron Glowen, The Herald [Everett WA], January 8, 1999
Alice Dubiel is clever: in her installation at 911 Media Arts, she wrapped what was really a polemic in engaging dress. Her five window panels, like so many holiday window displays, drew in curious passers-by.... Dubiel used the panels to present visually her thesis that our view of the landscape, and of nature, is inevitably colored by the same desires for control and order that drive our relationship with the urban realm.
-Christopher Hawthorne, Seattle Weekly, January 26, 1994
Alice Dubiel addresses the issue of nuclear threat and environmental toxicity with a series of exquisite watercolors that combine the fluid delicacy of Persian miniatures with the format of medieval illuminations.
—Claire Accomando, Artweek, November 3, 1984
Alice Dubiel, using the scroll format of traditional Eastern painting in Apocalyptic Visions, connects the “ancient burning terror” of volcanic eruption to nuclear holocaust.
—Judith Margolis, Artweek, January 9, 1988.
A positive historical note is sounded by Alice Dubiel’s painting, Lay Women Healers in Medieval Europe, which calls to mind the fact that women have also been able to heal and have often been sisters to one another.
—Louise Moore, Artweek, June 9, 1984
