Ours Is A City of Writers

This new exhibition at the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, pays homage to the vibrant intersection between writing and the contemporary art world.

In a twist on traditional exhibitions, Ours is a City of Writers, features a variety of installations with accompanying texts, replete with complimentary refreshments and spontaneous performances. The free exhibit is organized by guest curators Suzanne Hudson, Simon Leung and James Nisbet, who invited writers and various types of artists alike to contribute.

Invited writers have selected artists to collaborate with and vice-versa. Each collaboration has led to a new piece of writing, artwork, performance, lecture or program, exhibited in the gallery and staged as live events. Amongst the nearly 60 artists and writers featured in the show, are the multi-disciplinary projects of Karon Davis, Scott Benzel, Susan Silton, and Young Joon Kwak.
