Kinship: Translations of Place-Based Memory is an iteration of Art 25: Art in the 25th Century, a collective founded by artists Lisa Jarrett, Lehua M. Taitano, and Jocelyn Kapumealani Ng. The exhibition explores Indigenous and Black art’s place in contemporary and future contexts, questioning historical access, curation, and preservation. As part of this ongoing commitment, works by Weshoyot Alvitre, a Tongva descendant, will also be in ceremony.  

We’re thrilled to announce the opening of the PST ART: Art & Science Collide exhibition, Beatriz da Costa: (un)disciplinary tactics on Saturday, September 7, 2024, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Presented by Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions LACE at the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, this exhibition revisits the collaborative artistic practice of the late Beatriz da Costa (1974–2012) as an investigation into technoscientific experimentation, politics, activism, and art-making, contextualized for our contemporary moment. Curated by LACE’s former Chief Curator/Director of Programs Daniela Lieja Quintanar with Ana Briz, the project weaves together an exhibition, public programming, performances, educational workshops, and study groups as an evocation of da Costa’s approach to the intersections of ancient and non-academic forms of knowledge. This exhibition is complemented by a publication surveying da Costa’s entire artistic career with curatorial essays, reflections from previous collaborators including Donna Harraway and Robert F. Nideffer, and more. The catalog is the most extensive analysis of da Costa’s practice to date, and is distributed by MIT Press. Southern California’s landmark arts event, PST ART, returns in September 2024, presenting more than 70 exhibitions from organizations across the region exploring the intersections of art and science, both past and present. PST ART is presented by Getty. For more information about PST ART: Art & Science Collide, please visit pst.art.
