Check Out GIVE A BEAR HUG TO THE THINGS THAT SCARE YOU THER MOST – A New Documentary About Artist Heidi Schwegler

Posted on October 15, 2025 | Leave a comment

Check out the trailer to a short documentary about the artist HEIDI SCHWEGLER at: https://bit.ly/4g4UO8Y

GIVE A BEAR HUG TO THE THINGS THAT SCARE YOU THER MOST is a documentary about the artist Heidi Schwegler. Faced with a crisis in her art practice, Schwegler leaves for unfamiliar settings, and begins to see her surroundings in new ways.

Heidi Schwegler explores a wide range of materials in the service of her subject matter. Drawn to the peripheral ruin, she deftly incorporates found objects with traditional craft and sculpture media. “When [an object] is no longer contextualized by function and ownership, the discarded thing’s anonymity and ambiguity render it pervious to the imagination,” she says, approaching such things as a source of investigation. “I consider its formal qualities as raw material – but a very particular raw material that is both new and an indicator of past use, past value and past purpose.”

Schwegler’s accolades include an Individual Artist Fellowship from the Oregon Arts Commission, Hallie Ford Fellowship and two MacDowell Colony Fellowships in the Visual Arts. She was artist-in-residence at MacDowell, Pilchuck, VCCA, Yaddo, Anderson Ranch Arts Center, and Bullseye Glass Company, among others. Notable exhibitions of her work include the 2018 Bellevue Art Museum Biennial, Portland2016: A Biennial of Contemporary Art, curated by Michelle Grabner and presented by Disjecta Contemporary Art Center; her 10-year retrospective, Botched Execution, at The Art Gym at Marylhurst University, OR and the Sheldon Museum of Art in Lincoln, NE. Schwegler holds a BFA from the University of Kansas and MFA from the University of Oregon. She lives and works in Yucca Valley, CA where is the founding director of Yucca Valley Material Lab. where is the founding director of Yucca Valley Material Lab.

Her sculptural work is in the permanent collection of the Portland Art Museum, Laguna Art Museum, Schneider Museum of Art, Crocker Museum, The Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation Collection, and the Hallie Ford Museum.

Mark Moore Fine Art proudly presents “Refractions: L.A. Art in the Eighties and Nineties,” showcasing influential early works by Los Angeles legends Peter Alexander, Larry Bell, Billy Al Bengston, Eric Orr, and Helen Pashgian

Helen Pashgian, “Untitled”, 1990

Mark Moore Fine Art proudly presents “Refractions: L.A. Art in the Eighties and Nineties,” showcasing influential early works by Los Angeles legends Peter Alexander, Larry Bell, Billy Al Bengston, Eric Orr, and Helen Pashgian.

By the ’80s and ’90s, L.A. became an experimental hub—where light, surface, and perception intertwined in bold new ways. Bell explored glass and reflection; Alexander created resin forms inspired by color and city haze; Bengston infused painting with California’s vibrant energy; Pashgian crafted luminous sculptures; and Orr’s works, infused with elements of alchemy and spirituality, played with presence and infinity.

Experience a moment in L.A. art history defined by experimentation, reflection, and the evolving nature of perception itself.

Lipman has exhibited her work internationally at such institutions as the Ringling Museum of Art (FL), ICA/MECA (ME), RISD Museum (RI), Milwaukee Art Museum (WI), Gustavsbergs Konsthall (Sweden) and the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum (DC).
