Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND) is a non-profit art organization founded in 2009 by Director Shamim M. Momin, fromer contemporary curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art, and board member Christine Y. Kim, Associate Curator of Contemporary Art at the Los Angeles County Museum of Modern Art (LACMA).
LAND is a public art initiative committed to commissioning and producing site- and situation-specific projects with national and international artists, both locally and globally. LAND supports dynamic and unconventional artistic practices using a tripartite approach:
• Commissioning public projects of site- and situation-specific works with national and international contemporary artists
• Collaborating with a variety of institutions and organizations, such as universities, museums, and theaters as well as other types of spaces, industries, and entities
• Offering additional programs such as performances, workshops, residencies, discussions, and publications
LAND is an ongoing endeavor with three primary types of annual programming: LAND 1.0 projects are large-scale, multi-artist, multi-site exhibitions, LAND 2.0 projects feature a new commission by a single mid-career or established artist, and LAND 3.0 projects feature new work by lesser known or emerging artists
I am super excited that there are more and more organizations that are focusing on the cultural potential of our fair city. Too cool. I look forward to their future projects.
