On view from February 5 through March 26, 2017—with LAMAG’s visionary curator Erin Christovale at the helm—in consultation with guest curators Suzanne Hudson, Simon Leung, and James Nisbet—Ours is a City of Writers explores new approaches to writing, which are evidenced across the contemporary art world—particularly here in Los Angeles!
Invited writers have selected artists to collaborate with and vice versa. Each collaboration has led to a new piece of writing, artwork, performance, lecture, or program, exhibited in the gallery and staged as live events. Among the nearly 60 artists and writers featured in the show are the multi-disciplinary projects of Karon Davis, Scott Benzel, Susan Silton, and Young Joon Kwak.
The City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) and the Barnsdall Art Park Foundation presents this one-of-a-kind exhibition, which pays homage to the vibrant intersection between writing and the contemporary art world. I have summarized the exhibition below. Let me know if you can cover and / or attend the preview, which will feature tours with the artists and light bites. Look forward to your feedback.
