The Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery (LAMAG) serves as a civic platform dedicated to championing the creativity of Los Angeles artists with a commitment to underrepresented communities. LAMAG will present Susan Silton: Diving into the Wreck, the first-ever survey exhibition of the artist's expansive body of work. By turns humorous and sobering, the exhibition highlights Silton's impact on Los Angeles’s queer art and literary communities from the mid-1980s onwards and engages with themes including gentrification, political disappointment, lesbian desire, historical documentation, and free speech.
