Doug Edge was teaching sculpture at California Institute of the Arts when he, Judy Chicago, and DeWain Valentine were invited to curate a “plastics” exhibition for the school’s gallery. Their show, following the opening of the new Valencia campus in the fall of 1971, would feature art employing the advanced industrial materials and techniques the three favored in their own work. However, the sunny technological optimism once associated with California was dimming, as attested by the hostile reception accorded the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s 1970 blockbuster Art and Technology exhibition. Anticipating nostalgia for a past that wasn’t even past yet, Edge and the others named their exhibition The Last Plastics Show.
