A private tour of Kathryn Andrews studio in conversation with Rita Gonzalez, Teri and Michael Smooke Curator and Department Head, Contemporary Art at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Kathryn Andrews channels the legacies of Pop Art on the one hand and Minimalism on the other, often juxtaposing readymade and found objects (such as certified film props and licensed photographs) with fabricated, meticulously finished forms whose reflective surfaces call attention to the act of looking. In so doing, she examines latent power dynamics in acts of desire and consumption, and addresses the implied violence of dominant image histories from a feminist perspective, opening up new, more critically aware ways of seeing.
Rita Gonzalez is Teri and Michael Smooke Curator and Department Head, Contemporary Art at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art where she has curated Phantom Sightings: Art after the Chicano Movement, Asco: Elite of the Obscure, Lost Line: Contemporary Art from the Collection, Agnès Varda in Californialand, and A Universal History of Infamy, among other exhibitions and programs. She was a curatorial advisor for Prospect 3 New Orleans and part of the curatorial teams for the first Current L.A. Biennial in 2016 and the 2018 Gwangju Biennale.
