Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions

Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE) will redesign its website to be a primary location to engage new publics and expand its capacity to connect with its audiences and deepen their understanding of participatory, public artistic practices. LACE will produce six short-form documentary videos for streaming via the website. The videos will present case studies of public art works, featuring the lead artists. Each artist will invite collaborating stakeholders to create companion videos presenting their perspectives. The museum will also host and document two annual events to facilitate dialogue among artists, stakeholders, cultural producers, and theorists. The project activities are intended to provide critical learning opportunities about public, participatory artistic practices and the subject matter of their work. Audiences will learn about the skills and methodologies used for different stakeholders to collaborate and enact social change within their communities.
