7x7.LA: Selected Artist & Writer Collaborations
March 19 - May 28, 2022
7x7.LA: Selected Artist & Writer Collaborations, is an exhibition highlighting the online magazine 7x7.LA’s (http://7x7.la/), a stunning series of interdisciplinary collaborations between writers and artists. Each 7×7 collaboration invites one visual artist and one writer to engage in a two-week creative conversation. The format, inspired by Surrealist games of the early 20th century, challenges participants to improvise, in their respective disciplines, a spontaneous story that pushes into ever-wilder imaginative terrain. Every finished 7×7 is singular, unclassifiable, and wholly original. Since it launched in 2015, the magazine has published over 160 original collaborations between artists and writers. Feature collaborations: Holly Elander (artist) x Kij Johnson (writer) Stephanie J. Ryan (artist) x Kathy Fish (writer) Rochelle Botello (artist) x Deirdre Danklin (writer) Lorraine Bubar (artist) x Silvia Park (writer) Corinne Chaix (artist) x Jasper Nighthawk (writer) Ned Evans (artist) x Ashaki M. Jackson (writer) Coinciding with the exhibition will be three nights of in-person readings and conversations featuring 7x7 contributors.
