We continue our presentations - on this blog from time-to-time - about the artists who will decorate the subway station now under construction at Westwood and Wilshire.

Gala Porras-Kim is an interdisciplinary artist living in Los Angeles. Her work is made through the process of learning about the social and political contexts that influence how such intangible things as sounds, language, and history have been represented through methodologies in the fields of linguistics, history, and conservation... Porras-Kim’s work has been shown at Colombia’s AÚN 44 Salón Nacional de Artistas, Frac des Pays de la Loire, the Future Generation Art Prize @ Venice 2019 exhibition,​ the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Seoul Museum of Art, the Ural Industrial Biennial of Contemporary Art, and the Whitney Biennial. She received a Los Angeles Artadia Award and a Rema Hort Mann Foundation Los Angeles Grant in 2017, a Joan Mitchell Foundation Emerging Artist Grant in 2016, a Creative Capital Award and a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Biennial Award in 2015, and a California Community Foundation Fellowship in 2013.
