Robin Rhode
March 11–June 6, 2010*
As a young artist in Johannesburg, South Africa, Robin Rhode “became inspired by a high school initiation rite whereby young pupils were unwillingly taken into the boys’ toilets by senior pupils and forced to interact with chalk-drawn objects on the walls.” Although the experience of growing up in Johannesburg has been fundamental to his work, Rhode (who has been based in Berlin for several years) creates work that speaks to urban experience in general. Rhode has never exhibited in Los Angeles, and the city’s vibrant urban culture, as well as its history of street and performance art, will provide an ideal venue for viewing his work. Curator: Leslie Jones, Prints and Drawings, LACMA. This exhibition is organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
* Tentative dates.
