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, along with collaborators Lizzi Bougatsos, Jennifer Herrema, and Kurt Midness, will record a musical performance directly onto a 7-inch single using a record lathe—a device for making individual records by cutting into the vinyl, in real time. The lathe will continue to be utilized and demonstrated throughout the duration of the fair as additional records of the performance are created and made available, along with accompanying record sleeves that are themselves limited edition prints by Sweeney.Alongside this and other editioned works, a library of books and ephemera curated by Sweeney reflect and expand upon how the sonic, visual, and mystical are inextricable within the artist’s work and practice. Select Gagosian publications will focus on similar multidisciplinary themes and feature Los Angeles artists.
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
