Made in L.A. 2025 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781636811697)

Animated by its inimitable residents and cacophonous disorder, Los Angeles is brought to life through interventions by 27 emerging and under-recognized local artists

The Made in L.A. biennial highlights the practices of artists working throughout the greater Los Angeles area, with an emphasis on emerging and under-recognized artists. The catalog for the seventh iteration, Made in L.A. 2025, includes curatorial essays and commissioned texts focusing on each of the 27 featured artists, spanning generations and working across a wide range of mediums. Featured works include a presentation by John Knight, architectural explorations by Hood Century Modern founder Jerald Cooper and a stage production by Leila Weinraub with avant-garde duo New Theater Hollywood (Max Pitegoff and Calla Henkel). In the spirit of the exhibition, the book embraces writers' voices from a broad range of disciplines. Among the contributions are interviews, critical essays and experimental writing exercises, all centered on and influenced by Los Angeles.
