Press Release

Tavares Strachan: The Day Tomorrow Began, the artist’s first museum exhibition in Los Angeles, invites viewers into immersive multisensory installations. Each of the exhibition’s rooms presents a distinct environment, from uncanny everyday spaces to a field of rice grass populated with ceramic figures to a gallery of monumental bronze sculptures. Strachan is interested in what has been rendered invisible within mainstream narratives, particularly related to the Black diaspora. His singular artworks—across media including neon, sculpture, painting, text, music, and performance—illuminate stories through which new ideas can emerge. Strachan was a recipient of the 2014 LACMA Art + Technology Lab Artist Grant and in 2022 was named a MacArthur Foundation fellow.

About the Artist

Tavares Strachan is a Bahamian conceptual artist celebrated for his ambitious, research-driven practice, which weaves together art, science, and politics to offer distinct perspectives on the cultural dynamics of scientific knowledge. Working across sculpture, neon, ceramics, music, text, installation, and large-scale collaborative projects, he creates work that moves between the Arctic, outer space, and the deep sea to consider the impact of storytelling querying how knowledge is produced and who is made visible in the historical record. Born in 1979 in Nassau, The Bahamas, Strachan lives and works between New York City and Nassau.

About the Gallery

Founded in 1965, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is a cornerstone of cultural life in California and the largest art museum in the western United States, with a collection of more than 150,000 objects spanning ancient to contemporary art. Reflecting the city’s diverse communities, LACMA has developed particular strengths in Asian art, Latin American art—from pre-Columbian works to modern and contemporary practice—and Islamic art, alongside significant holdings in European and American art, photography, film and media, decorative arts, and design. Together, these collections position LACMA as a key destination for visitors seeking major art museums in Los Angeles.
