Perfectly timed for Frieze Week Los Angeles 2024, Kenny Schachter says “I Object!” and puts up a solo show in the former MOCA satellite space at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood. The show mainly features sculpture, but also videos, prints and paintings. In this video, Kenny Schachter takes us on a tour of the exhibition. If you would like to see the show for yourself: The exhibition is open daily from 10am – 6pm February 13 thru March 3, 2024, then by appointment thru April 6, 2024.

Exploring the art ecosystem and broader societal issues since 1993, Kenny Schachter critiques the art market’s opaque workings with humor and satire. The exhibit includes NFTism stools showcasing satirical films, inspired by Joseph Beuys’ teachings. Schachter coined “NFTism” during the NFT craze, highlighting blockchain’s potential for art authentication and trading. Futuristic busts of artists, including avatars and real-life figures, are also featured, along with self-reflective sculptures like “Selfie-man.” Schachter’s exhibit challenges norms and embraces technological shifts in the art world.
