Diana Thater
The Conversation
HussenotThe devastating fires that have recently swept through communities throughout Los Angeles have directly impacted Diana Thater. Her cherished home and studio have been completely destroyed. Our hearts are heavy as she now faces the unimaginable task of rebuilding. On one level, we wish to support Diana and remind the world about her environmental concern in her work addressing nature, species and reminding us that global warning is not a prospect but now a reality. To remind us Diana's long-time commitment we are thrilled to present one more time at the gallery: The Conversation, a video and sound installation. "I've been beating the drum about the loss of nature due to human foolery and the rapid escalation of climate change for 35 years now. Now I have experienced it firsthand. I consider all of us who lost everything climate refugees." —Diana Thater On behalf of Diana Thater, we extend our ardent gratitude for the overwhelming support and concern for her and the community in Los Angeles. If you would like to support emergency relief efforts for artists and arts workers across all disciplines who have lost their homes, studios, archives, artworks, or livelihoods due to the devastating Los Angeles fires, please consider donating to a Getty-led coalition fund through
