Join us tomorrow night at Roberts Projects for the opening reception for Suchitra Mattai - Fables, Guineps and the Sweetness of Unknowing.

Fables, Guineps and the Sweetness of Unknowing highlights the ongoing significance of collage for Suchitra Mattai, with each work presenting a rich layering of ideas, textures and materials which convey the infinite curiosity at the heart of her practice. The form of collage itself and its consistent fragmentation of space into different zones of style and technique reflects the artist’s effort to create a visual language—a new ‘future space’—where the regional traditions of her ancestry can be preserved as they contribute to a contemporary consciousness and moral reckoning.

Back To the Earth
On view through August 9, 2025

Spotlight on Jackie Castillo

Through the mediums of film, photography, sculpture, and installation, Los Angeles artist Jackie Castillo (b. 1990, Orange, CA) considers the relationship between city infrastructure, collective memory, and the isolation and anxiety felt by the working class. Through the Descent, Like the Return—the artist’s first institutional solo exhibition currently on view at ICA LA—considers architecture as a site of memory, holding histories of labor and generations of lived experience in its constitution and its remnants.

NEW INITIATIVE — Iconic Assemblage Artist Betye Saar Approaches Her Centennial in 2026 by Forming Legacy Group of Curators to Preserve Knowledge and Celebrate Her Artistic Lifetime

A newly established curatorial group—initiated by Betye Saar in collaboration with Roberts Projects—will serve as a scholarly committee dedicated to preserving, interpreting and advancing Saar’s profound artistic legacy. Working closely with the artist, her studio and her longtime gallery, the Betye Saar Legacy Group will provide expert guidance on Saar’s decades-long practice and her impact on contemporary art history.

Formed in anticipation of Saar’s centennial in 2026, the Legacy Group comprises nine international curators selected for their deep expertise and long standing engagement with the artist’s voice, process and visual language.

The Legacy Group brings together Esther Adler, Carlo Barbatti, Christophe Cherix, Elvira Dyangani Ose, Carol S. Eliel, Mark Godfrey, Diana Seave Greenwald, Stephanie Seidel and Zoé Whitley.
