ICA always presents the best exhibits and events! I’m never disappointed.

I had written a huuuuuge diatribe about art accessibility and intentional mystique being more important than reaching your audience. Instead: videos in a museum exhibit that quotes “decolonialism” but doesn’t have subtitles? Fark off. (PS. The staff are great)

Visited during IofCA's Witch Hunt exhibition. Best to get there just before the hour so you can go straight to One Big Bag or the other video displays. If you have time to watch the videos and listen to the audio feeds, I'm sure it's fascinating. Two other rooms show easy to quickly observe works. I still think the pink accented Gender-free bathroom was interesting as well.

ICA LA is a new small museum in the arts district. Admission is free, and most employees are bilingual. They have a beautiful collection of sketches and drawings by Martin Ramirez. It is a small intimate museum, and as you wander through the gallery of Ramirez's art and information his life, it's hard not to imagine what it might be like to be him. Abigail Deville's No Space Hidden exhibit was amazing. It had more impact in this tiny museum right next to skid row than could possibly be had anywhere else. The gift shop is full of children's books, some tackling the same heavy subjects as the art in the galleries. I can't wait to see what this little gallery does next.
