Suggested Reading is an exhibition of visual art that is inspired by specific literary texts. It features the work of LA-based artists Marya Alford, Candice Lin, Jay Lizo, Catherine Lord, and Marco Rios. The exhibition considers how composition, research, and interpretation are shaped in both written texts and visual works of art.
The artists included have all been inspired by different kinds of writing, ranging from historical texts to poetry.
A limited-edition catalogue will accompany the show and will include writing by Sarah Balcomb, Teresa Carmody, Moyra Davey, Daniel Hockenson, Douglas Kearney, and Benjamin Weissman.
