“Los Angeles: Now & Then” is a group exhibition focusing on the unique, venerable, boundary-busting history and art of Los Angeles over the past 90 years. The show is curated by Juri Koll, Director of the Venice Institute of Contemporary Art (ViCA). It is part of ViCA’s ongoing programming of exhibitions chronicling the history and practice of art in Southern California.
