About the artist
Alice Dubiel has exhibited visual artwork
nationally and internationally for over 35 years. Most work is concerned
with ecology, land use and the politics of representation; other
works explore reproduction. Among 30 solo installations and community
projects, many at community and college galleries in Washington
State and California featured paintings, prints, interactive and
conceptual work involving land use.
In fall 2006, she was artist in residence
at North Cascades National Park. She has worked with the Seattle
Parks department, the Seattle Aquarium and the Medieval Women’s
Choir of Seattle. The Landscape Tale and Implode the Dome
were conceptual works to stimulate community-based land use dialogue,
appearing at Bumbershoot, the Seattle Arts Festival, 911 media arts
and in ArtPapers, published in Atlanta. Dreaming the Earth Whole
at Bumbershoot and the Tacoma Art Museum was a collaborative installation
with artists Marita Dingus, Ann Rosenthal and Sarah Teofanov. Her
work appeared in over 50 group exhibitions and is represented in
the collections of the University of Washington and Swedish Medical
Centers, the National Museum of Women in the Arts as well as private
West Coast collections.
Dubiel’s bookworks and installations
have appeared at the University of Wisconsin, the Massachusetts
State House and in traveling exhibitions in California and Asia.
Other work has been shown in New York, San Antonio, Portland, Edinburgh.
In 2011, 2012 and 2014 Dubiel was honored
as a guest artist, invited to exhibit in Daegu, Gyeongju and Gwangju,
in Cultural Sensibilities, a collaboration with women artists
from Korea, Russia and US, Lights of Women, and Garden
of Flame with artists throughout Eurasia and the US.
Alice Dubiel works and lives with her
family in Seattle where she volunteers as an amateur naturalist
and sings with the Medieval Women’s Choir under the direction
of Margriet Tindemans. Born in Berkeley, CA, she received an MA
in painting from San Jose State University and an AB in English
literature from UC Santa Cruz, pursuing graduate literature studies
in medieval literature, art and critical theory at Bryn Mawr College
and UC Irvine. In 1984, Dubiel received funds from the National
Endowment for the Humanities for research on women’s performance.
In 2007 she received funds from 4Culture in King County, WA for
The Hazel Tree Mother and in 2014 for travel to Korea. She
has taught courses in studio art and expository writing, English
literature and art history, focusing on ancient, medieval and contemporary
art. Her work appears in Women Artists of the American West by Susan
Ressler.
