Smog Collectors survey – Essay by Kelly Lindner

The trifold pages from the Sacramento State survey, Kim Abeles: Smog Collectors, 1987-2020 follow here. The exhibit originated at The Begovich Gallery, CSU Fullerton, curated by Jennifer Frias (the book is available on Amazon).

The 2023 exhibition at Sacramento State was organized by Kelly Lindner, Galleries and Collections Curator for the University Galleries.
