LA Art Book Fair: Off the Record
Curated by Jamison Edgar and Matthew McGaughey, the exhibition features artists working across the United States who explore our entangled sociopolitical relationships with more-than-human subjects. These artists use creative publishing as a foil to traditional cultural criticism, advancing their own forms of grassroots journalism.

every speck of dust illuminated presents a tableau of the everyday. Inspired by Richard Siken’s poem “Visible World,” the exhibition sketches a feeling around quotidian notions of quietude, the banal, dreaming, and interiority (Siken, 2005). Assembled here is the work of five artists with ties to Allegheny County, each of whom have distinct material approaches to observing these notions and the memories inflected therein.
Issues of Tree News will be featured in Uprooted: Plants Out of Place, opening March 22, 2025 at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. The exhibition explores humans’ role in the history and future of invasive plants.
