The exhibition 'Boil, Toil & Trouble' includes 50 contemporary artists working in a range of media who explore mystical, mythological, or spiritual frameworks and practices as they pertain to water. Artists selected have created works that deal with magic, ritual, the alchemy of water, and the role of the ‘witch’ or medium in contemporary art.
In addition to a series of new works, site-specific commissions, and large-scale installations, significant historic works are on loan from the private collections of Beth Rudin DeWoody, Craig Robins, and Priscila & Alvin Hudgins.

BENDING THE RIVER | LAUREN BON AND EMMA ROBBINS, MODERATED BY MEGAN STEINMAN
Bending the River is an infrastructure artwork by Lauren Bon and the Metabolic Studio. The project is diverting a small amount of water from the Los Angeles River (which would otherwise go straight to the Pacific), lifting it, cleansing it, and spreading it to a network of public parts (its former floodplain). This conversation will discuss how Bending the River approaches water infrastructure as community care, and considers how a project like this may be a model for more thoughtful urban infrastructure that moves away from extraction and towards reciprocity.
