John Ziqiang Wu’s exhibition Art Making opened at the Armory on February 9, 2020, just a few weeks before LA County’s stay at home order went into effect, triggering the closure of all indoor cultural venues. While initially thought of as a temporary closure, the lockdown orders ended up cutting the run of the exhibition (which was originally intended to go through August, 2020) down to one month.
Join artist John Ziqiang Wu and the Armory’s Heber Rodriguez, who organized Wu’s exhibition, as they discuss the artist’s practice and reflect on the collapsing of domestic, artistic, and educational space, a theme explored in the exhibition that became ever more relevant after the COVID quarantine.
