LAXART

LAXART’s nonprofit status affords it the freedom to raise more questions than to provide answers about the way we look at our societal and political issues through art. Located in West Hollywood, the alternative art space has some of the most thrilling inquiry-driven showcases of multidisciplinary art forms. Formerly a recording studio where Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker, Louis Armstrong and Jimi Hendrix recorded albums, LAXART primarily shows sculptural works but also uses the space to organize poetry readings, jazz performances and panel discussions around moving images. It’s a gallery that befits a simmering demographic of avant-garde thinkers and researchers who are fascinated by the city’s conceptual art scene.
