Rajiv Menon Contemporary to Launch Permanent LA Space
On February 17, Rajiv Menon Contemporary will open its flagship gallery space on Highland Avenue in Los Angeles, California. Founded in 2023, Rajiv Menon Contemporary bridges South Asian and diasporic perspectives with the United States. Though rooted in South Asian identity and aesthetics, the gallery aims to demonstrate the universality of the broader region’s art and culture. To inaugurate the new venue, Rajiv Menon Contemporary is holding the group show “EXHIBITIONISM,” featuring 19 contemporary emerging and established South Asian artists whose works explore the complex dichotomy of both desiring and resisting attention. The gallery will donate a portion of proceeds from the exhibition to philanthropic organizations SevaSphere and the California Community Foundation, to aid Los Angeles residents who are struggling in the aftermath of the wildfires that ravaged the state last month.
