Photos: The art scene at ‘9800’

The 1965 Welton Becket-designed building at 9800 Sepulveda Blvd. was the site of the group exhibition “9800.”

Eggs are displayed on the carpet in a systematic algorithm by artist Sarah Ortmeyer as a plane makes its approach into LAX in the background in the “9800” exhibition.

Curator Shyan Rahmi organized “9800,” an exhibition in an abandoned building that played on the theme of what the space was once used for in the past. The elevators were broken so visitors had to use stairwells and darkened hallways to explore the show.

Small speakers emote artists’ voices inside vacant cubicles on the fifth floor of an abandoned building on Sepulveda, part of the “9800” exhibition that wrapped up in November. In this sound installation, the voices play in a loop as the artists describe what they would do with the space if they had the means.
