Inframundo invites visitors to look inward and become a rock, drawing on the landscape shaped by cenotes, which are thought to be portals to the Maya underworld.
"It's bizarre to watch people in this way - even in gay cruising areas you wouldn't stare at other bodies this intensely. Now, whenever I go to a concert, especially at the Berliner Philharmonie with its encircling seating, my gaze hovers over the audience as well as the stage."
"It's an amalgamation of the Chicago neighborhood aesthetic with a Bulls fan, quite literally. It's kind of on the nose, but that's how I juxtapose the elements of my work, with the structure of a home and then a figure who is around or in the home."
Seeing the Alhambra in Granada was an extraordinary experience for me. It was the first time that I understood painting as something other than an object hanging on a wall. I thought that paintings could be in a fixed place, made for that place, made for the light of the place, experienced kinesthetically.
Los Angeles has so much more to offer culture-wise beyond movies and music-it actually has more museums per capita than any other city in the United States, including Washington, D.C., and New York City. Part of the magic of L.A. is its stunning diversity, which equates to an exciting mix of subjects and art forms. From Miracle Mile's Museum Row to Downtown and beyond, there are museums in L.A. showcasing everything from cutting-edge art and contemporary craft to classic cars and Hollywood history.
The next PST Art will highlight exchange around the Pacific across several centuries, from the arrival of Chinese porcelain in the Spanish missions to the influence of Japanese visual culture on the city's architecture and design, to the ongoing impact of contemporary Korean pop culture.
Many of these posters are the only surviving proof of certain shows, with no recordings of plays, and certain films, having been lost over time. They offer a history of Black Americans trying to counter harmful stereotypes and provide vital and humanizing contributions to a growing Black culture.
We were supposed to be Frieze's special guests. And we feel like we're being censored, racially profiled and discriminated against. Having worked with the fair for five years, she says she will not continue beyond this weekend.
Driskell started collecting in 1955 after taking a position as an art professor at Talladega College. As he explained in a 2017 lecture at the Whitney Museum of American Art, he put aside a small budget for art each year from his beginning salary of $3,000.
We're just a week away from Frieze LA, when East Coast dealers and local artists alike descend upon the Santa Monica Airport, but this isn't Renée Reizman's first rodeo. Since the critic and artist moved to the area almost 15 years ago, she's witnessed blue-chip New York galleries set up shop and sideline the irreverent, DIY spaces that shape the local art scene. Without these spaces, Reizman writes, she would not have discovered what art can be outside of the white cube.
Since launching its first project in 1968—a sculptural embossed silkscreen book by the multimedia artist Lucas Samaras—Pace Prints has worked with artists to expand the formal and technical possibilities of printmaking. In the ensuing decades, the publisher has supported projects by artists like Louise Nevelson and John Chamberlain that blur distinctions between print, collage, sculpture and painting, often emphasising scale and material experimentation.
I first saw Stalker in the mid-1980s. I grew up in a very rural community, but I had a group of friends who all wanted something that we couldn't really get where we lived. With film, that was a possibility. I'm in my fifties now. I keep trying to figure out what I'm doing as an artist and how to keep going.
These paintings reveal the layers of history that undergird modern Los Angeles. Yaanga Lies Under the 101 imagines the city's earliest Tongva inhabitants as they made their home on the land that, in the modern day, runs beneath the Hollywood Freeway. Campos's process mimics this archaeological layering: each canvas begins with a screenprinted underlayer that is then painted over in acrylic, and then once again layered with screenprinted details.
Baca, who was awarded the National Medal of Arts by former US president Joe Biden, is working with a team of artists to tell socially engaged stories on 12ft-tall panels. "I want to use public space to create ... consciousness about the presence of people who are often the majority of the population but who may not be represented in any visual way," she says.
