In this issue of Fabrik, we look at art that responds to, and perhaps explains, our complex times. Among some of the features in this issue that touch on the socio-political theme, Shana Nys Dambrot surveys art installations at LAX, the gateway to our city. Kristen Osborne-Bartucca’s piece on Fréderick Gautier examines an artist’s response to the LA River, which relates to the strange geography of this city, the fragility of our resources and local environment. Eva Recinos takes a look at the Long Beach based Museum of Latin American Art on its 20th anniversary, its history and where it stands at a crossroads today.
