VICA (Venice Institute of Contemporary Art) held a closing reception and art talk for “Los Angeles: Now & Then,” on Saturday, March 4, 2023 at 2pm. Curated by Juri Koll, Director of the Venice Institute of Contemporary Art (ViCA) the exhibition opened at Beyond Baroque/Mike Kelley Gallery on January 14, 2023.

“Los Angeles: Now & Then” focuses on the unique, venerable, boundary-busting history and art of Los Angeles over the past 90 years. The group show is part of ViCA’s ongoing programming chronicling the history and practice of art in Southern California. ViCA’s vision is that Los Angeles, and Southern California in general, has and will continue to provide a legacy to the art world that – in terms of art history – we are only just beginning to understand and appreciate.
