Join us for the ICA LA catalogue launch of No Wrong Holes: Thirty Years of Nayland Blake — a record of the most comprehensive survey of Blake’s work and their first solo institutional presentation in Los Angeles. For over 30 years, artist, educator, and curator Nayland Blake (b. 1960) has been a critical figure in American art, working between sculpture, drawing, performance, and video. The exhibition was on view at ICA LA from 2019-2020 and can now be seen virtually on Virtual ICA LA.
This event will reunite the artist in a conversation about then and now with No Wrong Holes curator Jamillah James, former ICA LA Senior Curator and current Manilow Senior Curator of MCA Chicago. The event will be introduced and moderated by ICA LA Executive Director Anne Ellegood.
No Wrong Holes: Thirty Years of Nayland Blake is a fully illustrated catalogue designed by Content/Object with newly commissioned essays by Jamillah James, David Evans Frantz, Maggie Nelson, and a Reader by Nayland Blake. It also includes key reprints, archival material, and content produced by the artist and others.
Also available will be copies of the latest publication by Nayland Blake: My Studio Is a Dungeon Is the Studio; Writings and Interviews, 1983–2024 (Duke University Press, 2025).
