EXHIBITOR PROJECTS
Anteism Books
Anteism Books—together with Artists + Machine Intelligence (A+MI), a research program at Google—presents a selection of print editions, objects, and art books by artists working with artificial intelligence. Featuring works and essays by Casey Reas, Ross Goodwin, and Hito Steyerl, this project space celebrates an emerging art field with the publication of a new zine that catalogues contemporary artist-engineer collaborations, and explores what it feels like to collaborate with intelligent systems.Gagosian
Gagosian presents a project space exploring the multifaceted work and influences of painter and performance artist Spencer Sweeney. Sweeney, as part of the group I.U.D. (along with Lizzi Bougatsos and Sadie Laska) will release a new single created using a record lathe. The lathe (a device for making records by cutting into vinyl discs) will be utilized on-site through the duration of the fair, creating additional records of the track, which will be made available along with accompanying sleeves designed by Sweeney.Alongside these and other editioned works, a library of books and ephemera curated by Sweeney will reflect the ways in which the sonic, visual, and mystical are inextricable in his artistic process. Selected Gagosian publications will also be included, focusing on similar multidisciplinary themes and highlighting Los Angeles–based artists and recent gallery exhibitions.
Corita Art Center
The Corita Art Center in Los Angeles was established in 1997 to preserve and honor the legacy of Corita Kent (1918–1986), an artist, educator, and advocate for social justice. Since its founding, the Center has facilitated hundreds of exhibitions of Corita’s work, maintained the largest collection of Corita’s works, and housed her archival materials, including prints, books, and watercolors. At LAABF, the Center presents an exploration of its archive alongside a selection of screen prints by the artist.Werkplaats Typografie
