UCLA’s New Wight Gallery presents “Compassion Fatigue” in its New Wight Biennial, Oct. 2-16. Curated by graduate students Damir Avdagic and Abigail Collins of the UCLA Department of Art, the exhibition highlights the work of 15 artists from around the world. The artists use installation, performance, video, sound and photographic art to depict an intimate view of political crisis.
In addition to introducing these artists and their work, the show is intended to foster an investigative exchange between graduate programs at UCLA and other institutions.The New Wight Biennial was founded by UCLA professor and artist Mary Kelly in 1997, when she was chair of the Department of Art.
The New Wight Gallery is located at the UCLA Broad Center. Visit Compassion Fatigue for a list of the artists, gallery hours and more.
