Prof. Luthra Exhibits at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art

Back to Art Department News

Lakshmi Luthra, associate professor of art and art history and director of the film and media studies program, participated in Full Haus: The Seeld Library, at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art storefront exhibition space, as part of the research collective Seeld Library. The Seeld Library displayed objects, images, printed matter, and handwritten notes within a meticulously fabricated environment resembling library storage. The work presented revolves around the topic of 鈥渟econd nature,鈥 broadly defined as socially constructed phenomena surfacing as if they were inevitable 鈥 as mere extensions of an evolutionary process. The Seeld Library interrogates what once was called myth: the image in which history still appears as nature.
