L.A.-based, Argentinian-born photographer and interdisciplinary artist Luciana Abait’s first-ever survey exhibition features 20+ multimedia works spanning 2017-2022, including photography, painting, sculpture, video installation, and augmented reality. Addressing climate change and global migration, she conjures eerie yet beautiful imaginary worlds that address the fragility of our eco-systems, hoping to influence a heightened sense of environmental awareness. Abait immigrated to the U.S. in 1997, and draws from her personal feelings of displacement and vulnerability in her landscapes, full of existential incongruities and concern for our collective planetary survival.
This special closing event is a conversation and walkthrough with award winning critic and curator Shana Nys Dambrot. Start time is 2PM and the conversation is one hour. The gallery will be open until 4PM.
