L.A. Biennial at the Hammer

THE HAMMER MUSEUM presents 39 artists, collectives and organizations at its Made in L.A. 2023: Acts of Living, the sixth iteration of the biennial exhibition, opening Oct. 1.

According to curator Pablo José Ramírez, the show takes its cues from the ethos of Los Angeles, “a place where a multiplicity of cultures coexist and where, as an artist said to us, ‘one is always a visitor.’ ”

Made in L.A. features mostly new works by artists including Marcel Alcalá, Sula Bermúdez-Silverman, Jibz Cameron, Ishi Glinsky, Young Joon Kwak, Tidawhitney Lek, Maria Maea, Roksana Pirouzmand, Ryan Preciado, Guadalupe Rosales and Chiffon Thomas. They work across mediums encompassing sculpture, assemblage, paintings, drawing, ceramics, performance and instal- lation. The exhibition also includes presentations by artists working for more than four decades, among them Victor Estrada, Nancy Evans, Akinsanya Kambon, Jessie Homer French and Teresa Tolliver. 10899 Wilshire Blvd., L.A., 310.443.7000, hammer.ucla.edu
