Spatial Memories: "Photography Into Sculpture" At El Nido
El Nido, an artist‑run curatorial space in Los Angeles, is hosting “Photography Into Sculpture: An Homage and an Update” through May 16, 2026. The traveling exhibition revisits the 1970s MoMA show and its 2011 Getty restaging, assembling eight international artists who transform photographs into three‑dimensional objects. Works are displayed on vintage tables, mirrors and ceramic vessels, blurring the line between image and object while evoking Victorian‑era memory. Curated by L. Mikelle Standbridge and staged by Victoria Chapman, the show underscores the experimental potential of artist‑run venues.
