Assembly artist David Alekhuogie's work is currently on view in LACMA's exhibition Imagining "Black Diasporas: 21st-Century Art and Poetics" — a group show that finds aesthetic connections among 60 artists working in Africa, Europe, and the Americas. The exhibition remains on view through August 3, 2025. Learn more at lacma.org

We are thrilled to announce that Alekhuogie will be releasing his first monograph "A Reprise" with Aperture this year. The book confronts the intriguing legacy of narrative and authorship behind Western presentations of African art—including photographs made by Walker Evans—and poses timely questions about how Black aesthetics are circulated, accessed, valued, and interpreted today. Learn more at aperture.org

It was also just announced that Alekhuogie will be highlighted in "Made in L.A. 2025" at the Hammer Museum. This is the seventh iteration of the Hammer’s biennial exhibition highlighting the practices of artists working throughout the greater Los Angeles area. The exhibition will run from October 5, 2025 - January 4, 2026. Learn more at hammer.ucla.edu

We are delighted to have placed a large-scale piece from Manjari Sharma's series "Surface Tension" at The Luckman Club, located on the iconic Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood.

Named in honor of the building’s original architect, Charles Luckman, the newly opened club will be used primarily for private events and dinners. Inspired by classic Hollywood glamour, it features three meticulously designed spaces, including a dining room with views over the Los Angeles skyline, Beverly Hills, and sunsets over the Pacific Ocean.

Composed of found images of Japanese culture from the late 1980s and 1990s along with Ishino’s own photographs, Index of Fillers is a recreation of the artist’s elusive memory of growing up during this era in Japan. Referencing the traditional format of Japanese comic strips, each image panel contains its own nostalgic narrative—from a cartoon Clearasil commercial to a video game rendering of a neighborhood to the interior of a love hotel. With a machine-embroidered felt cover housed inside a woven pencil case, each handmade book is unique and also includes a CD with a video piece made in Ishino’s childhood room.
