An America
AN AMERICA now at THE BOX LA
SEPTEMBER 20 – NOVEMBER 1, 2025.
WEDNESDAY – SATURDAY, 11-6 PM.
OPENING RECEPTION SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 5-8 PM.
Statement from The BOX LA –
An America, is an exhibition curated and first exhibited by Mitchell Algus at his gallery in
NYC. Traveling this exhibition to our gallery in LA, is an act of art world solidarity. And yes
you are right in thinking that we just did an exhibition, Burn Me!, that was a politically
charged show. We will continue. America needs to see this work now, they need to see
political artwork that confronts the political catastrophe that is happening in this country.
This exhibition is a collection of bold works both historical and recent that address the
corrupt fascists that have run this country for decades. Trump is just the most recent, and
in many ways the most extreme example of said fascism. Mitchell Algus and The Box
choose to show this work and not shy away from the difficult political work being made
and much ignored. An America is art exhibition as political statement. A political statement
against the capitalist greed that drives much of the Art World, and much of the Western
World we live in.
Statement from the Mitchell Algus Gallery –
The country is in crisis. The government is being dismantled by nihilists, conspiracy theorists, oligarchs and white nationalists who see our allies as our enemies. The sovereignty of other nations is being threatened by an administration’s imperial imaginings. We are becoming a surveillance state. Retribution, not unity, is now our national motto.
And the galleries. We have a platform. We cannot be silent.
An America is a group show addressing our country’s history and its present situation.
