from The Art Newspaper - International art news and events9 months ago
The name is a reference to the exposed-brick interior walls of its new building, set to open on 16 June, and to the idea that the exhibition space plays a co-operative-or constructive-role in the community.

Throwing a brick can also be seen as an act of revolution, so there are a lot of rich associations, even if they're all different.

When you see the building, it's a no-brainer. As for 'LAXART', he adds, 'You had to explain the name, and that's not a good thing.'

The Brick's director describes the mural on the façade by Indigenous and Chicano artists 3B Collective as the art-world equivalent of a Kobe Bryant mural.
