Notes
Exhibition postcard issued for Desire, a 1995 exhibition by Serbian-born artist Slavica Perković with photographer Lewis Baltz at Gallery RAM, Bergamot Station, Santa Monica. The recto reproduces one of Perković’s psychologically charged image-text works: a cropped feminine figure overlaid with the phrase “Men usually like when I dress like a little girl.”
The work sits within the broader 1990s field of feminist image culture, media critique, staged identity, and the uneasy overlap between desire, performance, infantilization, and advertising language. Baltz’s presence in the exhibition adds another layer, linking Perković’s constructed image world to the colder conceptual and photographic traditions associated with the Pictures Generation and post-industrial documentary practice.
The card operates less as secondary promotional matter than as a retained support for circulation: artist, text, image, institution, telephone number, opening date. A temporary distribution device that survives long enough to become an object again.
An increasingly scarce Bergamot Station-era Los Angeles exhibition document from the mid-1990s independent gallery landscape.
