About 50 rarely exhibited works and archival material follow Cheng from the 1960s, when he began working amid political unrest and the aerospace boom, through process-based pieces such as Erosion Machine No. 4 and Early Warning System that join the natural and the man-made. ICA LA has also commissioned a new work using water. Cheng was born in San Francisco in 1942 and lives in Santa Monica. The survey was organized by The Contemporary Austin and curated by Alex Klein; ICA LA is its last stop.

Yokoyama, born in Illinois and based in Los Angeles, trained in experimental animation at CalArts and moves between ceramic sculpture, animation, holography, painting and installation. She is drawn to materials that change state, such as clay passed through fire and water, as a way to think about bodies that break down and mend. Amanda Sroka organized the show.

Over the summer the fourteen Agency of Assets fellows, high school students from Downtown and East Los Angeles, made the show in workshops with Saewon Oh and C. Ryu of Hwa Records, the museum’s artists in residence. At its center is a Dol Top, a Korean folk stone tower meant to protect a village, stacked from rocks brought from home by the fellows, their communities and the public; a zine, a sound piece and a video complete it.

Walsh, born in Washington, D.C., in 1989, paints dreamlike scenes of silhouetted bodies in gardens, parks and cityscapes as places of queer intimacy, building them from digital models, hand-made stencils and screen printing. Their montages combine images from queer archives and topographic maps with photographs of friends staged in the artist’s garden. Emilia Shaffer-Del Valle organized the project.
