Highway Hypnosis at Craft Contemporary
“In this show, Craft Contemporary showcases the work of the 3B Collective, a group of multidisciplinary LA-based artists who explore cultural commodification, labor, migration, and hybrid identities. Highway Hypnosis gathers murals, assemblages, textiles, ceramics, and installations made in conjunction with artisans located in areas where collective members have familial roots, including Oaxaca, Jalisco, El Salvador, and Baja California. These collaborative works challenge the false binary of craft and fine art, while highlighting networks of cultural and social exchange.” — Matt Stromberg View more in “10 Shows to See in Los Angeles This May”
