Diana Taylor Exhibition: Flotsam & Jetsam

by | Jul 18, 2025 | Blog post

AWAD Member, SLQS Gallery, is pleased to announce its first international collaboration with DON’T LOOK Projects in Los Angeles, presenting ‘Flotsam and Jetsam’ a solo exhibition of new works by Diana Taylor, her first in the US.

“At a moment when all images are flowing into an AI algorithm, the canons of painting, photography, and film are converging into an undifferentiated field of digital “slop”. Diana Taylor’s practice makes legible the imminent threat of cultural blindness by splicing together different forms of visual grammar into a state of alluring aporia. Layering the graphical matrix of Gustave Doré’s woodblock prints for Dante’s Divine Comedy together with a surfeit of other patterns over a pixel grid, the artist’s works for Flotsam and Jetsam make legible the collapse of analog and digital organizing principles that AI obscures.”

The exhibition at DONT LOOK Projects runs from 19 July – 30 August 2025, at 2680 S La Cienega Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90034.
