The “we can’t possibly build more homes because our infrastructure isn’t perfect” argument is ubiquitous in San Francisco housing debates.

Without a clear curatorial thesis, the Hammer Museum’s LA artist biennial presents those who have already been vetted by other institutions. Writer Alex Paik would love to see them go a little more “off menu” next time.
