STATES OF CHANGE



This feels to us like the most significant election of our lifetimes. The outcome will likely be decided by just a handful of states. And make no mistake: attempts are being made right now to unfairly tip the playing field and influence the vote—from voter intimidation to outright misinformation.*

STATES OF CHANGE—a fundraiser supporting forty-two organizations fighting voter suppression in Arizona, Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin—is offering $150 prints by over 150 artists. See link below for details.

MARK BRADFORD AND SHARON LOCKHART IN CONVERSATION

At this year’s VENICE BIENNALE, Los Angeles-based artists Sharon Lockhart and Mark Bradford found themselves in the position of “representing” two counties whose federal governments have, to varying degrees, fallen into the hands of nationalist, reactionary forces: the United States in Bradford’s case, Poland in Lockhart’s. (See the recent fate of Pawel Machcewicz, below.*)

This week at the Orpheum Theatre, curator/critic Katy Siegel and the Broad Museum’s Un-Private Collection program welcome Bradford and Lockhart for a conversation about community engagement and their recent work for the biennale.

MARK BRADFORD, SHARON LOCKHART + KATY SIEGEL, Wednesday, August 16, at 7:30 pm.

ORPHEUM THEATRE, 842 South Broadway, downtown Los Angeles.
