| As part of DIVERSEartLA 2020, the LA Art Show presents TRANSCENDIENTS, a unique collaboration between artist Taiji Terasaki and the Japanese American National Museum. Transcendients is an homage to “heroes at borders,” important figures working to overcome and transcend borders – both geographic and conceptual – that reinforce discrimination, inequity, and intolerance. |
These heroes inspire their fellow Americans and their communities, while advocating
for government policy and social change. Their stories are illuminated in Transcendients
to raise awareness and galvanize a spirit of unity and action in support of democracy and
justice for all.
“We are thrilled to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the LA Art Show with a rare yet
magnificent event that will reflect LA's vast natural spaces and cultural diversity,”
said DIVERSEartLA curator Marisa Caichiolo.
“While the city's communities reflect a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds, its
environment reflects a richness of natural areas. This year's curatorial focus will be
expanded to celebrate
those art institutions and art collectors who support LA's blossoming art community.”
2020 lineup for DIVERSEartLA includes LACMA, The Broad, La Neomudejar Museum
from Madrid, MOLAA, Art Al Limite, LA Art Association, the UCLA Chicano Studies
Research Center, and many others.
For the first time ever, work will be presented by the Danubiana Museum of Bratislava,
with a special exhibition from the collection of Homeira Goldstein, and more.
The performance programming for the 2020 DIVERSEartLA includes work by PSJM
Collective from Spain and artist Miss Art World, presented by the LA Art Association.

The Birth of the Niemand Installation by Viktor Freso. Presented by Danubiana Museum.
Curated by Marisa Caichiolo. 2020 DIVERSEartLA Programming features Installations from MOLAA and Art Al.
The Birth of the Niemand consists of 16 large sculptures on a square pedestal.
They represent a whole range of negative emotions that people try to hide in their lives, such as maliciousness, inferiority complex, and unhealthy self-confidence. One of the most fascinating elements of his creation is the seeming counterpoint of emphasis on huge, grandiose EGO connected with a Gesture in combination with disarming self-ironic humility. His ability to reveal dark sides of his soul or stumbles and throw them to the world regardless of consequences shift the author’s concepts to broader possibilities of perception of the reasons for his work. Viktor Frešo is interested in direct, efficient, visual tools. He prefers short interval between action and reaction and conditions of quick recognition of relations between the expressing “me“ and the indication “he“.
