Zoe WalshGathering

A commissioned mural by the Los Angeles painter Zoe Walsh on the museum’s 7th Street facade, turning to the city’s ecologies.

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.
