Los Angeles Art Festival 2012

The Hammer Museum has teamed up with non profit gallery LAX Art to organise a biennial Art festival in 2012 that will span the city of Los Angeles. Exhibitions will take place at a variety of public sites and feature artists from the LA Area. Plans for the biennial grew out of conversations between Ann Philbin Director of Hammer Museum and Lauri Firstenberg the founder of LAX Art. Hammer curator Ali Subotnick has previously co-organized an edition of the Berlin biennial and Deputy Director Douglas Fogle has previously organized the Carnegie International. LAX art regularly introduces the work of New LA based Artists. The 2010 biennial opens at the  Orange County Museum of Art on October 24.
