Made in L.A. 2020: A Version

About this book

Made in L.A. 2020: a version brings together an intergenerational and interdisciplinary mix of artists each of whom is contributing to L.A.s vibrant art scene. Since its inception in 2012 the Hammer Museums Made in L.A. biennial has brought together local artists from a wide range of discipline. Under the direction of co-curators Myriam Ben Salah and Lauren Mackler the 2020 iteration will be no exception. The Hammers Ikechukwu Onyewuenyi who has previously served with Performa and The Kitchen in New York will assist in the organization of the 2020 biennial in the role of assistant curator for performance. Drawing inspiration from historical artist magazines this book is not documentation of the artists work but rather serves as an additional venue for the exhibition. It includes images of the artists studios art made specifically for the pages of the book as well as essays and conversations between artists and curators that weave together the conceptual through-lines of the show. This book is published in two different covers. Published with the Hammer Museum
