ART LOS ANGELES CONTEMPORARY ART FAIR CELEBRATED 10TH ANNIVERSARY

Art Los Angeles Contemporary, the International Contemporary Art fair of the West Coast, (ALAC) was held February 13–17, 2019. The tenth edition of the fair featured top established and emerging galleries from around the world, with a strong focus on Los Angeles galleries.

Participants presented some of the most dynamic recent works from their roster of represented artists and offered an informed view on contemporary art making. The fair also hosted a comprehensive, curated programming series of world-class artist talks, panel discussions, film screenings, and performances.

Tim Fleming, ALAC’s Founder and Fair Director said, “After ten years, I recognize the impact we have made locally and internationally. To walk into a collector’s home and see work from a past edition of our fair is such a pleasure because it solidifies for me how we’ve achieved our mission by supporting galleries and informing collections. Our 10th anniversary is a chance for us to recommit to who we are: content-forward, trusted but inventive, international and LA.

Our work is really about putting together the best program of established and emerging galleries, to show off the best of LA and around the globe. We feel spoiled by the number of visionaries we get to collaborate with, from new galleries with audacious programming to respected partners we’ve worked with from ALAC’s beginning a decade ago.”

Contributing editor, Fahren Feingold, attending ALAC on behalf of The Untitled Magazine, and reported, “First arriving at ALAC, you get a sense of preparation. Artists at their respective booths were open and welcoming, galleries were friendly and made an effort to engage with anyone walking into their booths; they never felt too cluttered or too empty. There were galleries from different areas of the U.S. and the world including LA, NY, Chicago, Canada, Mexico, and Europe – making of it a fluidity of different perspectives.

Regarding the art, there was an eclectic mix of paintings and sculptures; something for everyone. Stand out artists included: Anna Jenson: Pink Sculptures; Corey Lynn Tetz; Haley Josephs with Jack Barrett Gallery; Laura Krifka who has an upcoming solo show; Amir H Fallah with Shulamit Nazarian; and Mathew Stone with The Hole.”
