Dismantling is Neha Choksi’s vision of the final stage of Alice Könitz’s moveable institution, LAMOA, Los Angeles Museum of Art. An invitation to exhibit at LAMOA grew into an essay, then a sculptural installation, and then this book. Dismantling took many energies to create—the work was consciously assembled in proxy—and in that spirit, Choksi has assembled texts, conversations, and images about Dismantling from Steven Chodoriwsky, Rachelle Rojany, Dan Bustillo, Alice Könitz, Anuradha Vikram, Doris Chon, and herself.
