About Los Angeles Art Association's OPEN SHOW:
Since 2006, Los Angeles Art Association's OPEN SHOW has grown into a renown international survey exhibition of emerging art mounted by the organization whose mission is to serve emerging artists. LAAA's OPEN SHOW is perhaps best known for its prestigious curators and jurors and has been featured on NPR. Past Open Show jurors have included MoCA Director Jeremy Strick, PAMM Director Franklin Sirmans, Hammer Museum Director Annie Philbin, LACMA curator Rita Gonzalez and MASSMoCA Curator Susan Cross. LAAA is thrilled to add Paula Kroll to this distinguished list of curatorial talent.
About the Juror: Paula Kroll is a curator and art historian who has been a curatorial assistant at MOCA since 2022. She is the co-curator of Paul Pfeiffer: Prologue to the Story of the Birth of Freedom (2023), a retrospective of twenty-five years of Pfeiffer’s practice which will travel to the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in November 2024, and has assisted with the organization of Ordinary People: Photorealism and the Work of Art since 1968 (opening November 2024), Long Story Short (2023), and Tala Madani: Biscuits (2022). Kroll studied in the master’s program in Modern and Contemporary Art: Critical and Curatorial Studies at Columbia University, receiving her MA in 2019, with a thesis focused on contemporary art from Central and Eastern Europe in relation to theories of trauma and memory. Between 2019 and 2021, Kroll was a researcher at David Zwirner, where she contributed to exhibitions and publications, including Diane Arbus Documents (2022; David Zwirner Books), a groundbreaking anthology of writing on Arbus from 1967 to the present.
