The Hammer Museum in Los Angeles has launched the lineup for the extremely anticipated Made in L.A. biennial operating from October to early January 2026. Composed of 27 artists, the exhibition will shift its focus to these working within the larger LA space.
For the seventh version of the biennial, curators Essence Harden and Paulina Pobocha pooled a gaggle of multigenerational artists who work throughout a wide range of mediums. Featured works embrace a presentation by esteemed conceptual artist John Knight, architectural explorations by Hood Century Trendy founder Jerald Cooper, a choreographic composition by Will Rawls and a stage manufacturing by Leila Weinraub and avant-garde duo New Theater Hollywood (Max Pitegoff and Calla Henkel.)
Whereas this 12 months’s theme has but to be introduced, the curators word that the sunny clamor and character of town will function the unifying thread throughout all works. “From the outset of this course of, our major goal was to take a look at artwork, and to see as a lot of it as attainable. We needed to study from artists and distill an exhibition from these experiences,” Harden and Pobocha shared in a joint assertion.”
“Whereas there are as many concepts circulating by way of the present as there are supplies, an inquiry into one’s relationship to town of Los Angeles animates a lot of the work we’ll current. Neither fable nor monolith, this metropolis is many issues to many individuals and its cacophonous dysfunction is, maybe, its most distinguishing function.”
