LA Art Show Returns Jan.19th to 23rd 2022 with Environmentally Focused DIVERSEartLA Exhibits.

 LA Art Show Returns Jan.19th to 23th 2022 with Environmentally Focused Installations and Art from DIVERSEartLA - featuring programming from 8 Institutions and Museums.

By Karen Ostlund

(Los Angeles, CA January 5th, 2022) - The LA Art Show, the most international
contemporary art show in America, is returning to the LA Convention Center, January 19th to 23rd with new and exciting programming just 6 months after their last event in July 2021.

                                                                           

Museum of Nature of Cantabria Spain


 This kick-off to LA's 2022 art season comes with return of DIVERSEartLA, curated by Marisa Caichiolo, who said,
 "The goal of DIVERSEartLA 2022 is to view the sector of art within the show through ecological
glasses: how the environment is represented in art installations and objects, and also how humans’ place
in the world is depicted".
"It’s about saving the planet, and documenting change in our environment past – present – future,
 including exhibitions built with high-tech innovations".

"DIVERSEartLA 2022 will encourage visitors to confront the complex challenges of our global climate
crisis and imagine potential solutions” concluded Marisa Caichiolo.
This exhibition will open up an important dialogue about the Earth’s past, present, and future, uniting the community around discussions of the globalclimate crisis and potential solutions.
This topic is already at the heart of a growing number of art
narratives and DIVERSEartLA is honored to provide it with an additional platform.
For the 2022 edition of the highly popular element of the LA Art Show, DIVERSEartLA invites art museums and institutions to partner with Science and Environmental Museums.

The programming is divided with 8 participating projects from institutions and museums:
                                                                           
Dox Contemporary-Prague, the Czech Center New York, and Consulate General of the Czech
Republic in Los Angeles present “THE SIGN,” a site specific installation by Swen Leer.

The installation The Sign plugs into this a-priori factuality by mimicking the iconic freeway signage, while communicating an unexpected message that calls to mind the cost of our economical growth and its toll on our planet: “Your children WILL hate you – eventually.”
                                                                           

MUSA, Museum of the Arts of the University of Guadalajara, and MCA Museum of
Environmental Science present “THE OTHER WATERFALL & CHAPALA ALSO DROPS ITSELF”
by Claudia Rodriguez, both of which reflect the contamination and lack of water that has affected the
state of Jalisco, Mexico in the last decades.

                                   
                                                                         

MUMBAT Museum of Fine Arts of Tandil and the Museum of Nature and Science Antonio
Serrano of Entre Rios Argentina present “THE EARTH’S FRUITS” by Guillermo Anselmo Vezzosi
curated by Indiana Gnocchini which is a scientific research project whose ideology culminates with
an installation work of a specific ephemeral site, where the waste that takes on a second life is
dignified.

.

                                                                         
The Museum of Nature of Cantabria Spain contributes with “Our turn to change” by Andrea Juan
and Gabriel Penedo Diego, a video-installation. The video installation appeals to the viewer, through
images, to awaken to an increasingly worrying reality. Drop by drop, large amounts of ice are lost
every second. The Arctic is at minimum levels, Antarctica has lost ice shelves, glaciers have
retracted and the oceans levels continue to rise.

                                                                            
● “Recognizing Skid Row As A Neighborhood:Skid Row Cooling Resources,” curated by Tom Grode
highlights that Skid Row is a dynamic, primarily African American, residential neighborhood, not a
problem to be fixed. The brutal heat waves of September 2020 created Skid Row Cooling
Resources, a collaborative planning effort and think tank to ensure the summer of 2021 and beyond
was better for Skid Row residents. Skid Row is a unique Urban Heat Island in the larger Heat Island
of downtown Los Angeles.

                                                                                   
TAM Torrance Art Museum presents “Memorial to the Future,” a collaborative art work concerning
Climate Change 2022, curated by Max Presneill. Using Brutalist architecture as a reference point
that encapsulates both the idealism and abject failure of this model, the collaborations, via
photograph and video, highlight the need for immediate action. They do this not by way of
propaganda, but rather via a diversity of photographic concerns that by physical proximity in their
installation on a single structure, bring together various viewpoints and interpretations of warning, of
caution, of danger in respect of our environment, nature and climate.

                                                       

● The Environmental Digital Experience by A.Ordoñez delivered by Raubtier Productions & Unicus
and curated by Marisa Caichiolo, an immersive experience that shows the viewers a range of climate
phenomena, ending on the positive growth of new flora. DIVERSEartLA.
