Hilja Keading (born 1960) is an American artist primarily working in the field of video art.
Hilja Keading was born on May 16, 1960, in Berkeley, California. Keading earned a B.F.A. in 1982 and an M.F.A. in 1986 in Sculpture and New Genres from the University of California, Los Angeles. [1]
Keading primarily creates multi-channel video installations. [2] For example, her four-channel video installation The Bonkers Devotional (2007) depicts the artist spending time with a live black bear named Bonkers inside a small room. Exhibited in numerous venues including "Intelligent Design: Interspecies Art" at the Sweeny Gallery, U.C. Riverside (Riverside 2009), Angles Gallery (Los Angeles 2010), and the Bass Museum (Miami Beach 2012), The Bonkers Devotional has received extensive critical acclaim. Los Angeles Times art critic David Pagel describes Keading's work as "a powerful piece". [3] Micol Hebron wrote in Art Forum that "as Keading and the bear tolerate and negotiate each other's presence without resolution or capitulation, we are reminded of the profound complexities of the worlds we inhabit". [4] In addition Keading received critical praise from Frieze magazine, where critic Ian Chang noted that "the natural and the human are returned to one, and she is both innocent and culpable for our own worry and our thrill". [5]
A commissioned 28-channel video filmstrip entitled SPLASH is on permanent view at the Tom Bradley International Terminal at the Los Angeles Airport. [6]
Keading exhibits nationally and internationally, and along with solo exhibitions she has been included in high-profile exhibitions such as "Unnatural" at the Bass Museum, Miami Beach (2012), "California Video" at the Getty Museum (2008), "C.O.L.A.

[7]
Keading is the recipient of prestigious awards and grants including the Anonymous Was A Woman Award (2014), [8] and the FOCA Fellowship (2013) granted by Fellows of Contemporary Art 'to mid-career artists in recognition of their significant contributions to the California art scene'. [9] In 2012 Keading received an ARC (Artists Resource for Completion) Grant through the Durfee Foundation administered by CCI (Center for Cultural Innovation) in support of her project The Gospel According to This Moment, a multi-room installation of projected video and sound. [10]
Keading was included in the 2008 survey volume California Video: Artists and Histories published by the Getty Research Institute and highlighting the work and profiles of notable California video artists who influenced the developing medium through experimentation with methods and technologies.

William Leavitt is a conceptual artist known for paintings, photographs, installations, and performance works that examine "the vernacular culture of L.A. through the filter of the entertainment industry...drawing on 'stock environments' and designs of films as well as the literature of the place." A critical figure in the West Coast conceptual art movement of the late 60s, Leavitt himself has managed to maintain a low profile. "Over the last 40 years, William Leavitt has made a name for himself as an influential artist while staying so far out of fame's spotlight that his hard-to-categorize works have been all but invisible to the public," wrote the LA Times. While his work is collected by high-profile artists such as John Baldessari and Mike Kelley, Leavitt himself has eschewed celebrity.
