#MartinRamirez: His Life in Pictures, Another Interpretation continues @theicala main gallery through to Dec 31 | #icala #dtla #pstlala 📷Sarah M. Golonka

Final weeks to experience our inaugural exhibition ‘Martín Ramírez: His Life in Pictures, Another Interpretation’ as part of #PSTLALA @pstinla at our new #DTLA space. This fascinating story of a Mexican migrant-turned artist ends Dec 31 👉 swipe to preview the artist’s ambitious scroll, measuring nearly 17 feet long, constructed with many pieces of paper, clippings and collage from 1950. The scroll depicts a surreal narrative by train through nature and metropolis, thought to be the artist’s memory of his journey to #California in 1925 to the state state psychiatric hospitals that he had interned in up to the end of his life | #icala #martinramirez

Is #virtualreality as new as we think? We’re excited to welcome science writer Margaret Wertheim @margaretwertheim44 to @theicala on Wednesday Dec 20, 7pm. This free talk will trace the roots of #VR to the Middle Ages and the history of perspective image-making through #art history (pictured - The Life of Christ image cycle in the Arena Chapel’ by Giotto di Bondone, 1305).

‘Martín Ramírez: His Life in Pictures, Another Interpretation’ is reviewed by @terremoto_mx and delves into the problematic categorisation of the self-taught artist who migrated to the United States in 1925 from Mexico, only to be institutionalised in 1931 for schizophrenia. The exhibition is part of Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA exploring Latin American and Latino #art in dialogue with #LosAngeles, through December 31 @theicala.
