“Jafri researched the archives of food branding consultants, and from their notes, tracked down now-obsolescent goods from eBay or flea markets. She then assembled a series of readymades of doomed household products. Outmoded consumables, propped up on plinths like exotica found in ethnographic museums…” - Yxta Murray @contemporaryartreview.la reviews ‘I Drank the Kool-Aid But I Didn’t Inhale’ by Maryam Jafri in the Project Room @theicala through June 30.

#5WomenArtists continues with ICA LA artist Patty Chang’s takeover this month. Today Chang introduces a series of works by New York-based artist @jcjstudio: “These works, from Jennie C. Jones’ ‘Amplitude’ series (2017), are examples of her powerful but subtle approach. Her work, which spans #painting #sculpture and #sound, reframes histories of #modernism in relation to the exclusion of black visual art, infusing abstraction with a certain political power” | #womenshistorymonth #jenniecjones #pattychang #icala
