Rooted in Conceptualism and coming from an investigatory place characterized by process, Experimentations: The Art of Controlled Procedures is a group exhibition featuring work by artists whose approach to their practice involves a scientific mindset. By designing and executing controlled procedures to test a hypothesis, explore relationships between variables, or investigate phenomena, the artists’ ideas are materialized and aestheticized using systems, chance, technology, and other unconventional means.
Experimentations celebrates the playful fusion of art and science, and demonstrates how controlled procedures and a spirit of curiosity and inquiry can lead to profound and unexpected artistic collaborations and outcomes. The exhibition includes multi-media installation, video, painting, drawing, sculpture, and performance and invites viewers to engage with the artworks not just as finished products but as manifestations and documentation of ongoing processes of discovery and exploration.
Artists in the exhibition include Carmen Argote, John Baldessari, Merce Cunningham, Charles Gaines, Jesper Just, Shana Lutker, Benjamin Reiss, and Analia Saban.
Experimentations: The Art of Controlled Procedures is curated by the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery curator Nancy Meyer.

LACE (Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions) is thrilled to announce a new partnership with the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery at Barnsdall Art Park and the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs to present upcoming PST ART: Art & Science Collide exhibition Beatriz da Costa: (un)disciplinary tactics, scheduled to open September 7, 2024. Curated by LACE’s former Chief Curator/Director of Programs Daniela Lieja Quintanar, (un)disciplinary tactics revisits the collaborative artistic practice of the late Beatriz da Costa (1974–2012) as an investigation into technoscientific experimentation, politics, activism, and art-making, contextualized for our contemporary moment. The project weaves together an exhibition, publication, public programming, performances, educational workshops, and study groups as an evocation of da Costa’s approach to the intersections of ancient and non-academic forms of knowledge.
