LA Art Show’s non-commercial platform, DIVERSEartLA, returns to the Los Angeles Convention Center from Feb. 14-18. The program, which began in 2015 and is curated by Marisa Caichiolo, connects with local and international art institutions to generate thoughtful dialogue through art. The 2024 program will showcase solo projects from seven top international art institutions, exploring the intersection of memory, humanity and AI.

“The works invite us to consider the opportunities and challenges presented by AI while also raising ethical questions and the social implications of relying on AI as a tool for memory and identity,” Caichiolo said.

DIVERSEartLA will also present the second edition of the Museum Acquisition Award for an Emerging Artist – created by AAL Museum and AAL Magazine (Chile) – who will have the opportunity to be part of the museum’s permanent collection.

DIVERSEartLA’s seven participants include exhibitions from the Lancaster Museum of Art and History, the Nevada Museum of Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Bogotá, MUSA Museum of Art University of Guadalajara, AAL Museum (Santiago, Chile), Raubtier & Unicus, and Red Line Contemporary Art Center (Denver, Colorado).

The Los Angeles Convention Center is located at 1201 S Figueroa St. For information or to purchase tickets, visit laartshow.com
