LAXART Executive Director and Curator, Hamza Walker and MOCA Senior Curator, Bennett Simpson come together to discuss the Maximalist work of Jason Rhoades on the occasion of the late artist’s first major survey in LA, 'Jason Rhoades. Installations, 1994 — 2006.' Pulling from their experiences of the drastic cultural shift of the '90s, Walker and Simpson interpret Rhoades as an artist who reflected the cultural and political developments of his time. Rhoades’ work, with its unabashed unmasking of historically sanitized cultural symbols, has never been more relevant in our current era of heightened political tension.
