“Los Angeles: Now & Then” is a group exhibition focusing on the unique, venerable, boundary-busting history and art of Los Angeles over the past 90 years. The show is curated by Juri Koll, Director of the Venice Institute of Contemporary Art (ViCA). It is part of ViCA’s ongoing programming of exhibitions chronicling the history and practice of art in Southern California. The exhibition opens with a reception at Beyond Baroque/Mike Kelley Gallery on Saturday, January 14, 2023
ViCA’s vision is that Los Angeles, and Southern California in general, has and will continue to provide a legacy to the art world that – in terms of art history – we are only just beginning to understand and appreciate. Working across diverse media, the artists featured in “Los Angeles Now & Then” are: Airom; MB Boissonnault; Fatemeh Burnes; Bob Branaman; Mx Farina; Michael Grecco; Ellen Grobman; Curtis Gutierrez; Gloriane Harris; George Herms ; Juri Koll; Barbara Kolo; Lawrie Margrave; Osceola Refetoff; Ofer Reyhanian; Gay Summer Rick; Catherine Ruane; Michael Stearns; Sonja Schenk; May Sun; William Turtle; Edmund Teske; Elizabeth Waterman.
The show continues through February 25, 2023, and runs concurrent with Frieze Los Angeles 2023. A panel discussion and closing reception for “Los Angeles: Now & Then” will be announced shortly.
