#comingsoon in our Project Room: longtime #LosAngeles #performance artist Skip Arnold’s journey to #Italy in search of truffles is documented by a comprehensive display of Polaroids, maps, videos and ephemera, as well as a smuggled truffle no less. ‘Truffle Hunt’, (1998) combines the story of Arnold’s European road trip with fellow artists Julien Bismuth, Jason Rhoades, and Hans Weigand in search of the delicacy with characteristically sharp wit - opening January 28th 👀 #skiparnold #trufflehunt #icala

We’re excited to announce our new exhibitions and programs this January + February @theicala - our main gallery will feature a recreation of Swiss curator Harald Szeemann’s legendary 1974 exhibition, ‘Grandfather: A Pioneer Like Us’. Originally held in the curator’s apartment in Bern, Switzerland, a full-size reconstruction of Szeemanzn’s apartment with hundreds of his grandfather, Étienne Szeemann’s original objects and ephemera from his life and work as a hairstylist, beautician, and inventor will be on display in this surreal and deeply personal installation. The exhibition opens February 4th and is in collaboration with @gettymuseum #GettyResearchInstitute’s own major exhibition on the curator, ‘Harald Szeemann: Museum of Obsessions’ on show concurrently #comingsoon #haraldszeemann #grandfatherapioneerlikeus #icala

‘No Space Hidden (Shelter)’, 2017 by @victoriouspurple @theicala through January 14 #icala #dtla 📷Sarah M. Golonka

ICA LA artist Abigail DeVille’s site-specific #installation ‘No Space Hidden (Shelter)’, 2017 ends this week. Explore the anarchic environment by the Bronx-based artist @victoriouspurple, where found materials from across #LosAngeles complicate movement through the space to represent issues of cultural inequality and invisibility. Look up, look down and side to side, familiarity is met with unspoken histories and forgotten pasts around this vortex of objects. Don’t miss this #mustsee exhibition in our Project Room closing this Sunday January 14 | #icala #abigaildeville 📷Sarah M. Golonka

Looking back at 2017 when we reopened at our new space in downtown #LosAngeles with inaugural exhibitions on #MartinRamirez, #AbigailDeVille and #SarahCain + special events, free talks and workshops for all ages as part of our commitment to make #contemporaryart free and accessible for all. Stay tuned for our new exhibitions and public programs in 2018 💛 Happy New Year from #icala 👉 Please be aware the museum will close early on New Year’s Eve at 4pm and will be closed on New Year’s Day. We’ll reopen on Wednesday, January 3rd 2018 | theicala.org
