Non si vive di sola East Coast. Le fiere d’arte non proliferano solo a New York e Miami. L’autunno ripare infatti da Los Angeles. La città californiana ha visto negli anni avvicendarsi molte manifestazioni fieristiche dedicate al contemporaneo, alcune non hanno retto la concorrenza e hanno passato la mano altre rilanciano la sfida e aprono per la prima volta. Le proposte per il 2011 sono:
Art Platform con circa 90 espositori tra gallerie, editori d’arte, istituzioni no-profit e culturali.
Pulse, già presente a New York e Miami apre per la prima volta una terza edizione americana con circa 50 gallerie e una dozzina tra enti no-profit, case editrici e riviste di settore.
Fountain, piattaforma indipendente per artisti e circuiti alternativi per la promozione di arte, presente a New York e sporadicamente anche a Miami. A Los Angeles raccoglie 13 espositori tra artisti, aziende di consulenza e piccole gallerie.
comunicato stampa
The Art Platform – Los Angeles art fair will demonstrate the rich and diverse cultural landscape of Southern California and underscore Los Angeles’ influential position within the contemporary art world.
This exhibition will bring together the local and international artists, dealers, collectors, museums, and art enthusiasts that play important roles in the vibrant Southern California art community. To emphasize the increased recognition of Los Angeles as an international art capital along with the anticipation of the shows and events taking place during the Getty’s Pacific Standard Time initiative, the directive of Art Platform – Los Angeles 2011 will be to contextualize works by the many critically acclaimed artists working in and from Los Angeles. To demonstrate Los Angeles’ position in the contemporary art world, priority will be given to single artist presentations or to curated presentations of Los Angeles based artists, thus giving emphasis to artists individual practices both locally and globally.
Art Platform – Los Angeles is launching the same weekend as Pacific Standard Time: Art in LA 1945 – 1980, an unprecedented collaboration of more than sixty cultural institutions across Southern California, coming together to tell the story of the birth of the L.A. art scene. Initiated through grants from the Getty Foundation, Pacific Standard Time will take place for six months beginning October 2011. Pacific Standard Time encompasses developments from L.A. Pop to post-minimalism; from modernist architecture and design to multi-media installations; from the films of the African American L.A. Rebellion to the feminist activities of the Woman’s Building; from ceramics to Chicano performance art; and from Japanese American design to the pioneering work of artists’ collectives.
OPEN PLATFORM
Open Platform is a series of discussions on contemporary art in Los Angeles with some of today’s top collectors, curators, museum directors, gallerists, scholars, and critics. We are also developing other events such as film screenings, live performances, and public art programs.
MUSEUM GROUPS
Members of local and international museums are welcomed to attend the fair. Through existing relationships, the organizers of the Art Platform – Los Angeles engage in concerted outreach to museum groups from the world’s premier art and cultural institutions. We are able to provide exclusive access to many of the events that will be part of our VIP program to participating museum group visitors.
DOCENT PROGRAM
VIPs and museum groups are offered complimentary tours led by art curators, writers and other art professionals. Private tours are also available as needed and requested. We also will provide age appropriate docent led tours for children and families.

comunicato stampa
As part of the Getty-sponsored, region-wide initiative, Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. 1945-1980, Trespass Parade is one of the official Opening Weekend Celebrations!
On Sunday, October 2, the historic Broadway Theater District in Downtown Los Angeles will erupt with Trespass, a parade where artists and residents will rally together to engage in art, music, dancing, floats, community activism, and performance. The parade is just one component of Trespass – a collaborative project between Arto Lindsay, Rirkrit Tiravanija, and West of Rome Public Art (WoR) that also includes a party and a T-shirt project with call-to-action slogans. Many Los Angeles art luminaries, including John Baldessari, Barbara Kruger, Nancy Rubins, and Jeffrey Vallance, were asked to produce statements – personal calls to action expressing political or social concerns – which will be worn on T-shirts in the parade. Many of the participating artists will also join in with performative pieces.
By noon the parade will get underway traveling north on Broadway with rolling street closures over more than 25 blocks. Influential contemporary artists and performers will perform in and along the parade route with Lindsay and Tiravanija such as Nancy Buchanan, Vaginal Davis, Ann Magnuson, My Barbarian, Sylvère Lotringer and many others. The finale includes a special KILLSONIC performance along the Grand Avenue cultural corridor with an ending reception at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA) as well as at REDCAT (Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater).

Pacific Standard Time : Art in L.A. 1945 – 1980
Pacific Standard Time is a collaboration of more than sixty cultural institutions across Southern California, coming together for six months beginning in October 2011 to tell the story of the birth of the Los Angeles art scene and how it became a major new force in the art world. Each institution will make its own contribution to this grand-scale story of artistic innovation and social change, told through a multitude of simultaneous exhibitions and programs. Exploring and celebrating the significance of the crucial years after World War II through the tumultuous period of the 1960s and 70s, Pacific Standard Time encompasses developments from L.A. Pop to post-minimalism; from modernist architecture and design to multi-media installations; from the films of the African-American L.A. Rebellion to the feminist activities of the Woman’s Building; from ceramics to Chicano performance art; and from Japanese-American design to the pioneering work of artists’ collectives. Initiated through $10 million in grants from the Getty Foundation, Pacific Standard Time involves cultural institutions of every size and character across Southern California, from Greater Los Angeles to San Diego and Santa Barbara to Palm Springs. Pacific Standard Time is an initiative of the Getty. The presenting sponsor is Bank of America.
