About LAND:
LAND was founded in 2009 by Director Shamim M. Momin, former contemporary curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art and Board Member Christine Y. Kim, Associate Curator of Contemporary Art at the Los Angeles County Museum of Modern Art (LACMA) as a non-profit public art organization committed to curating site- and situation-specific contemporary art projects. LAND supports dynamic and unconventional artistic practices using a tripartite approach:
• Commissioning public projects of site- and situation-specific works with national and international contemporary artists
• Collaborating with a variety of institutions and organizations, such as universities, museums, and theaters as well as other types of spaces, industries, and entities
• Offering additional programs such as performances, workshops, residencies, discussions, and publications
LAND is an ongoing endeavor with three primary types of annual programming: LAND 1.0 projects are large-scale, multi-artist, multi-site exhibitions and single-site group exhibitions, LAND 2.0 projects feature a new commission by a single mid-career or established artist, and LAND 3.0 projects feature new work by lesser known or emerging artists.
Over the past year, LAND has executed NINE projects including: Mi casa es tu casa (2010) by Moris, a series of conceptually linked vinyl texts and digital prints installed on the exterior of The Museum of Contemporary Art; a special exhibition of four films by LA-based artist Jennifer West in a unique collaboration with the Calvin Klein Collection; a one-night, outdoor “happening” featuring musicians composing a live impromptu score to Doug Aitken’s first monumental public installation in LA, “Migration”; and “The Secret Knows,” a thematic group exhibition held in conjunction with the South x Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas, featuring 55 significant contemporary artists. In addition to large-scale art installations, LAND hosts a variety of discussions, collaborations, and events in Los Angeles and beyond.
