Mission The Brick is a nonprofit visual art space that promotes developments in contemporary culture through exhibitions, publications, and public programs. We believe that contemporary art is a means of understanding key issues of our time with all their inherent contradictions. Contemporary art assumes many forms. Rather than provide answers, it raises questions. Through a range of offerings, The Brick contextualizes contemporary art both socially and art historically. Our programs are free and designed to be accessible to the general public. History The Brick was founded as LAXART in 2005 by Lauri Firstenberg as a platform for emerging and under-recognized artistic talent in Los Angeles. Since that time, The Brick has realized over 400 projects, characterized by newly commissioned artworks and solo projects in our gallery and public spaces. The Brick has made significant contributions to Southern California culture through partnerships with the Getty—to co-produce the Pacific Standard Time Performance and Public Art Festival in 2012 and the exhibition Video Art in Latin America in 2017—and the Hammer Museum—to co-organize Made in L.A. 2012, the city’s first biennial. We have also partnered with local and national organizations including the Frieze Art Fair, Art Basel, The Huntington, Monday Evening Concerts, Artadia, The French Embassy, L.A. Dance Project, and Le Lycée International of Los Angeles.…
