10 Offbeat Art Events During LA’s Art Fair Week
In just over a week, three art fairs will be popping up throughout Los Angeles: Frieze at the Santa Monica Airport, Felix at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, and Spring Break in Culver City. While much of the LA art world will be spending their days navigating the cavernous tents of Frieze or lounging by the Hockney pool at the Roosevelt, there are several cultural events taking place throughout the city that offer alternatives to the market-driven machinations of the fairs. Raffi and Al’s art bar provides a communal setting for a cocktail, JOJO ABOT blurs boundaries with their multidisciplinary performance, a Teddy Sandoval listening party showcases intergenerational creative networks, and more.
Central Server Works Presents Volta’s Glass House
Glass House is an interactive, multidisciplinary theater piece in which audience members and performers will collaborate to shape the course of the work. Drawing on choreographer Merce Cunningham’s notions of chance and Jungian theories of home, each night’s performance will take a different form, based on the choices of the audience-cum-participants. Presented by art gallery Central Server Works, directed by Mamie Green and Megan Paradowski, and written by Sammy Loren and Zoey Greenwald, Glass House features sculptures by Gbenga Komolafe and music by composer Patrick Shiroishi.
