Programming to Ignite Dialogue:
Curated by Marisa Caichiolo, the Fair’s non-commercial program,
DIVERSEartLA is partnering with seven international art institutions to explore
the intersection of memory, humanity, and AI. Amongst the participants, the
Nevada Museum of Art will present “The Journey” by contemporary artist
Guillermo Bert and The Museum of Contemporary Art in Bogotá presents
“Mythstories” by multimedia artist Carlos Castro Arias.
LP Gallery from South Korea will feature renowned artist Dain Yoon known for
painting on her skin to create surreal self-portraits that often trick the eye with
3D shading. Dain Yoon’s pieces are playful yet profound, reflecting her emotional
states and the complexity of identity. Now living in the U.S., her work showcases
a creative evolution from processing the challenges she faced as a young
woman in South Korea to embracing a more stable, confident persona in her new
environment.
To time with Black History Month, the Tanya Weddemire Gallery is set to exhibit
the incredible talents of four pioneering black artists, exploring a range of
themes, including identity, culture and resilience: Guy Stanley Philoche "Give Us
Our Flowers" , Serron Green "Invisible", Gregory Saint Amand "Play
Time"; and O’Neil Scott "Distant Memories".
Fostering Talent:
Fabrik Projects Gallery in Los Angeles welcomes ‘The Soul of Your City’
exhibition, the culmination of a global photography competition aimed at
capturing the hidden spirit and true identity of cities through the lenses of local
photographers. ‘The Soul of Your City’ competition was born out of a desire to
explore and reveal the unseen aspects of urban living and winning works will be
showcased.
Cynthia Corbett Young Masters: The upcoming featured exhibition of Young
Masters Art Prize, presented by Cynthia Corbett Gallery, London, represents an
international initiative committed to supporting emerging talents from diverse
backgrounds. Select artists from six editions will be featured at this year’s LA Art
