Opening Reception: The Medium is the Message

Space 4 Art is proud to continue its dynamic series of cutting-edge exhibitions, public programs, and community-engaged events throughout 2026— an initiative that will at once spotlight and strengthen the city’s vibrant, experimental community.

The second exhibition in this series,The Medium Is the Message, is a group exhibition exploring how meaning in visual art emerges through the relationship between material and content.

Inspired by Marshall McLuhan’s revolutionary 1967 book The Medium is the Massage: An Inventory of Effects, this exhibition highlights artists who use diverse materials to challenge perception and demonstrate how medium itself communicates.

Curated by Material Projects DTLA, artists include:

Meghan Augustine, Joe Riley, Jaya Darriet, Helena Westra, Elijah Rubottom, David Fobes, Bridget Rountree, Beliz Iristay, and Annie Claflin.
