Since its inception in 1965, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) has been devoted to collecting works of art that span both history and geography, in addition to representing Los Angeles’ uniquely diverse population. Today LACMA is the largest art museum in the western United States, with a collection that includes over 120,000 objects dating from antiquity to the present, encompassing the geographic world and nearly the entire history of art.

The funds will be used to support Diana Thater: From China to Chernobyl.   The exhibition promises to be a visually compelling, monographic mid-career retrospective of artist Diana Thater’s large-scale video art.  The show will be mounted in both the Art of the America’s Building and Broad Contemporary Art Museum and will travel to at least one international and two domestic venues.  The exhibition will run at the museum from November 2015 through March 2016.
