Los Angeles-based artist Amy Adler works across the disciplines of drawing, performance, photography, and film. Since the 1990s, she has worked with pastels, embracing an intimate, slow, and laborious process to image-making as a means of reflecting on the power of narrative and the construction of identity. Her exhibition Nice Girl presents a new body of work that examines the selfie, an everyday image-making activity, as a new visual lexicon, one that operates between the public and private.
Join Amy Adler in conversation with OCMA CEO and Director Heidi Zuckerman as they discuss portraiture, the role of identity, and what it means to shape collective memory.
