Catalogue Note

"I think that it’s clear that my work is engaged with ideas about the entertainment industry and entertainment culture. That culture allows for this city [Los Angeles] to exist and to function as it does. My work expresses my desire to embody certain aspects of that culture, and to also engage with certain formal elements of the city’s physical landscape." Alex Israel, 2013
