Asher Hartman

Asher Hartman is a multidisciplinary artist, author, and playwright based in Los Angeles. His work often explores personal and emotional history in relation to the ideologies that structure Western culture. ^[1] Trained in theater as an undergraduate at UCLA, Hartman later received an MFA in art from CalArts. ^[2] Hartman's plays eschew linear narrative, opting for more experimental approaches to meaning-making. He has cited Richard Schechner and The Living Theatre as influences, as well as the contemporary performance landscape in Los Angeles. ^[3] Hartman's work has been shown at LACMA, Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE), and Machine Project, among other venues. ^{[4] [5] [6]}
