The article focuses on the curatorial approach and artistic ethos of the 2025 edition of the 'Made in L.A.' biennial, highlighting how artists are actively engaging with pressing social and political issues rather than retreating into quietism or abstraction. It examines specific works and the overall thematic drive of the exhibition, which is organized by the Hammer Museum and the Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens.
The biennial's emphasis on art as a form of social engagement and memorialization reflects a broader trend in contemporary art, particularly in Los Angeles, where artists are responding to urgencies like climate change, racial injustice, and collective memory. This positions 'Made in L.A. 2025' as a significant barometer of current artistic practice and its potential to foster public discourse and reflection on critical societal challenges.
