Amanda Sroka, the senior curator at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, has been instrumental in the museum's transition to a contemporary kunsthalle. Previously at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, she organized significant exhibitions focusing on women and Black artists. Her training in global conceptual practices informs her work. At Frieze Los Angeles, she highlighted compelling artworks from artists like Maia Cruz Palileo and Candice Lin, expressing critical themes like colonial history and the exploration of humanity through art.
Maia Cruz Palileo's work unpacks colonial histories through imagery that relates to personal and anthropological archives, reflecting a unique connection to the Pacific Rim.
Candice Lin's art incorporates humor and a deep exploration of the demonic aspects within humanity, expanding the scope of ceramics.
Ozzie Juarez’s pieces honor the cultural histories of South Central LA and Mexico, blending playfulness with darker themes from his experience as a scene painter.
Saif Azzuz’s installation, Portraits of Friends, creatively explores Indigenous narratives and relationships, adding depth to contemporary discussions of identity.
