Linda Lighton: Love & War, A Fifty-Year Survey, 1975-2025
For fifty years, American artist Linda Lighton has created a powerful body of subversive ceramic sculptures that explore desire in all its complex forms. Her work uses wit and seduction as conceptual weaponry to mine the relationships between sex, power, and politics.
The Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art is proud to present Linda Lighton: Love & War, a major retrospective exhibition that examines the arc of Lighton’s career. It is accompanied by a 208-page book, published and internationally distributed by Hirmer. This richly illustrated monograph gives a comprehensive overview of her pioneering body of work, which pushes the boundaries of ceramic sculpture.
My Hellmouth
The paintings of Los Angeles–based artist Lauren Quin have mesmerized audiences with their electric colors and pulsating lines. Her compositions contain an intricate language of overlapping shapes (most recently, Légeresque tubes), engendering a dizzying multitude of compositional center points. Each painting features motifs—spider, needle, sun—which she then transfers onto the canvas through a monoprint technique.
My Hellmouth is the first comprehensive monograph on Quin, accompanying her 2023 solo exhibition at the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art. Featuring a foreword by Nerman director JoAnne Northrup, essays by art historian Fanny Singer and artist and writer Juliana Halpert, and an interview with the artist by curator Sarah Lehrer-Graiwer, My Hellmouth also provides insight into Quin's artistic process.
Celebrating 30 Years of Art on Campus
The Nerman Museum’s publication, Celebrating 30 Years of Art on Campus, features the major exhibitions and acquisitions at the Museum and the former JCCC Gallery of Art from 1990-2020. Numerous scholarly essays accompany this visually stunning 564-page monograph, highlighting JCCC’s commitment to collecting and exhibiting contemporary art.
