The Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (ICA-LA) is a non-collecting museum considered an epicenter of artistic experimentation and incubator of new ideas. Founded in 1984, the current ICA-LA builds upon a distinguished history of exhibitions, education, and public programs.

The PAA grant will support Scientia Sexualis, an upcoming group exhibition presented as part of the Getty Foundation’s PST ART: Art & Science Collide initiative. The approximately 30 artists in the exhibition will bring attention to the material, conceptual, and psychic forms of the lab and the clinic as aesthetics that operate across scientific and artistic discourses. The exhibition aims to examine and reconfigure the relationship between art and science and, in turn, create an alternative access point to the history of science where sex, gender, and pleasure are concerned. It will run October 5, 2024-January 12, 2025.
