Tracing Our Environment, Tracing Ourselves
with moca
How does art change the way we see our environment? How do artists question the way we see the world around us? Guided by Teaching Artists and inspired by solo exhibitions of the work of Paul Pfeiffer and Eddie Rodolfo Aparicio at MOCA, artworxLA participants will use art to trace their relationships to identity, place-making, media and spectacle.

Acts of Living with The Hammer
What is the relationship between art, community, and everyday life? Inspired by the sixth iteration of the Hammer Museum’s Made in L.A. biennial exhibition, artworxLA participants will explore the intersection of art and everyday life. Acts of Living draws its title from a quote by Noah Purifoy memorialized at the Watts Towers Art Center: “One does not have to be a visual artist to utilize creative potential. Creativity can be an act of living, a way of life, and a formula for doing the right thing.” Inspired by the diverse backgrounds and practices of the 39 Los Angeles-based artists in the exhibition, participants will consider their own role in shaping the visual culture of Los Angeles.
