Construction, Occupation presents the work of 24 artists and collectives that engage art’s potential to shape the city through the power of community. Drawing on myriad visual languages and poetics grounded in collective action, the exhibition investigates a radical urban vocabulary that blurs art and activism to address questions of infrastructure and vulnerability, circulation and segregation, and the body in public space.
Support for Construction, Occupation is provided by the Lemann Foundation, the Consulate General of Brazil in Los Angeles, the Marla C. Berns Exhibition Fund, the George R. and Nancy L. Ellis Endowment, Clough/Hillenburg Fund, and the Fay Bettye Green Fund. Research support was provided by the UCLA Academic Senate and the UCLA Latin American Institute. Additional funding is provided by the Pasadena Art Alliance.
