Jori Finkel on LACMA’s New Building and the Buzz Around It

In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green is joined by Jori Finkel, a Los Angeles-based journalist who writes for The New York Times and The Art Newspaper, to discuss the highly anticipated new building at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Designed by Peter Zumthor, the project has been years in the making and has generated significant attention across the art world. Jori recently visited the museum and published an in-depth review, and in this conversation she shares her perspective on the experience of the new galleries, the vision behind the building, and how it compares to traditional museum models. They also explore the broader response from critics and the public, place LACMA within the context of Los Angeles’s rapidly evolving art scene, and consider what impact the museum’s transformation could have on the city’s cultural landscape moving forward.
