Andrew Berardini is a writer out of Los Angeles. 

His poems, essays, and criticism ease into each other, shaped by class, illness, and pleasure. A contributor to Mousse since 2007 and Artforum since 2006, he is the author of Relics (2015), a memoir-once-removed on the work of Danh Võ, and Colors (2023), a literary atlas of 110 shades of color. His writing has appeared in Purple, BOMB, and elsewhere, as well as for SFMOMA, the Whitney Biennial, and documenta 14. 

He co-curated Kris Lemsalu's Estonian Pavilion at the 58th Venice Biennale, orchestrated Bruce Nauman's first-ever skywriting, performed as the Public Writer at Pierre Huyghe's retrospective, and has organized exhibitions at MOCA, Los Angeles; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; and Castello di Rivoli, Turin. 

Berardini is Editor-in-Chief of Art Bae Agenda, a longtime faculty member at the Mountain School of Arts, and a recipient of the Creative Capital / Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant. Starting in Fall 2026, he will be a Clarendon Scholar at the Ruskin School of Art at Oxford. His collected writings about Los Angeles are forthcoming. He composes through exhibitions, love letters, posters, pamphlets, performances, and songs. Though often disabled, he keeps language tender, strange, and alive.
