We were a fly on many walls -- some of them plexiglas -- at this inaugural edition of the ART LOS ANGELES CONTEMPORARY fair, presented at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood.
Fifty-five (55) galleries be showin' it, plus a dozen or more publishers. We're able to include here a fraction of what was there. Among those we owe thanks to: Angles Gallery, I-20, On Stellar Rays, Francois Ghebaly Gallery, Kalfayan Galleries, Thomas Solomon Gallery, Charro Negro Galeria, David Kordansky Gallery, Patrick Painter Gallery, Crystal Contemporary Art, Buk, Blum & Poe, Ooga Booga and Goteblud.
Featured somewhere in this video, either by work or in person, are Wendy Yao, Matt Wobensmith, Debo Eilers, Jason Rhoades, Antonis Donef, Gina Osterloh, Peter Sarkisian, Mark Ryden, Jim Shaw, Tom LaDuke, Bart Exposito, Krysten Cunningham, Yuli Karatsiki, Nowell Karten, Thomas Solomon, Francois Ghebaly, Gary Kornblau, Adam Stamp and more artists than could possibly sue us in a billable afternoon. (Yo, zeitgeisters! See if you can spot Irving Blum!) Special thanks to festival director Tim Fleming, who sneaked us in. Produced by Paige Wery. Directed by Steve Cioffi.
