POSTS FROM THE ROAD
EN ROUTE #1
By Joel Kyack
It's 5:15pm on Friday, September 10th, 2010, in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles. I'm in the back of a pickup truck that has a cap on it. There is a welded steel frame that is bolted to the bed of the truck. Earlier today I removed one of the two Pontiac Fiero seats that are normally bolted down onto the frame, side by side, and reattached just one in the center. I'm wearing tight black clothing, and on my head and over my face is the mid-section of a black stocking with no holes for eyes or a mouth cut out of it. The cab and side windows of the cap are blacked out. I am a lump

The Hammer and LAXART to organize the first Los Angeles Biennial
The Hammer Museum and LAXART are pleased to announce a formal programmatic affiliation centered on the development and organization of the Los Angeles Biennial in 2012. The Biennial will follow the tradition of the Hammer Invitational exhibitions which take place every two years and have included Snapshot (2001), International Paper (2003), Thing (2005), Eden’s Edge (2007), Nine Lives (2009) as well as the upcoming All of this and nothing (winter 2011). Unlike the Invitationals, however, the Los Angeles Biennial will focus exclusively on artists from the LA region with an emphasis on emerging artists. This Biennial exhibition will be large in scale—mounted at the Hammer and LAXART as well as additional sites throughout the city—and will leverage LAXART’s experience with public art projects.
The Biennial is a programmatic collaboration which comes after more than a year of discussions between the two organizations and on the heels of smaller initiatives between
