Made in L.A. 2023: Acts of Living

Oct 1, 2023 - Dec 31, 2023 

Hammer Museum
10899 Wilshire Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90024

Made in L.A. 2023: Acts of Living is the sixth iteration of Hammer’s biennial exhibition highlighting the practices of artists working throughout the greater Los Angeles area. These practices embrace the value of craft, materiality, performance, and collectivity. The biennial situates art as an expanded field of culture entangled with everyday life; community networks; queer affect; and indigenous and diasporic histories.

Made in L.A. 2023: Acts of Living takes its title from a quote by the renowned Los Angeles artist Noah Purifoy, which is inscribed on a plaque at the Watts Towers: “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.” The history of Watts Towers—built by Simon Rodia over the course of 33 years and then preserved by the local South L.A. community, including Purifoy, to become a hub for arts education—embodies this ethos and offers a salient metaphor for this biennial.

What's New!

We welcomed two new businesses in September!

Please help us welcome these new businesses to Westwood Village!

1138 Westwood Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90024

Join us by welcoming Honey Krush to Westwood Village! Honey Krush offers organic fruit-based cream cheese lattes, Harney & Sons fine tea-based boba drinks, and special homemade syrup crafted from organic cane sugar.
