Jason Rhoades. DRIVE

Jason Rhoades. DRIVE

901 East 3rd Street Los Angeles, CA 90013, USA Tuesday, February 27, 2024–Tuesday, January 14, 2025

Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles will dedicate an entire gallery at its Downtown Arts District location to a yearlong exploration of Jason Rhoades’ art via the subject of cars and car culture. 

For Jason Rhoades, the car was a vehicle of artistic pursuit, both readymade sculpture and American idol. Known for the driving imagination and ambition of his work, as well, at times, its reckless provocation and overwhelming materiality, Rhoades (1965–2006) was a world builder for whom the making of sculptures and the creation of narratives were intertwined. His epic-scaled installations made him a force of the international art world in the 1990s while he was based in Los Angeles. ‘DRIVE,’ will unfold over a series of thematic iterations, an ever-changing exhibition of Rhoades’ sculptures, drawings, videos and multiples—enriched by archival materials, public programs and contemporary perspectives.

Please join us for the opening reception of ‘Jason Rhoades. DRIVE’ on Tuesday, 27 February from 6 – 10 pm.
