Andrew Berardini
Andrew Berardini is a writer out of Los Angeles.
His poems, essays, and criticism ease into each other, shaped by class, illness, and pleasure. A contributor to Artforum since 2006 and Mousse since 2007, he is the author of Relics (2015), a memoir-once-removed on the work of Danh Võ, and Colors (2023), a literary atlas of 110 shades of color. His writing has appeared in Purple, BOMB, and elsewhere, and in publications for SFMOMA, the Whitney Biennial, and documenta 14.
He co-curated Kris Lemsalu's Estonian Pavilion at the 58th Venice Biennale, orchestrated Bruce Nauman's first-ever skywriting, performed as the Public Writer at Pierre Huyghe's retrospective, and has organized exhibitions at MOCA, Los Angeles; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; and Castello di Rivoli, Turin.
Berardini is Editor-in-Chief of Art Bae Agenda and a longtime faculty member at the Mountain School of Arts. A past recipient of the Creative Capital / Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant, he is currently a doctoral researcher at Oxford in the Ruskin School of Art where he is dreaming of sunsets. His collected writings about Los Angeles are forthcoming. He composes through exhibitions, love letters, posters, pamphlets, performances, and songs. Often sick, he keeps his language tender, strange, and alive.
