A Premier International Art Fair for Emerging and
Independent Contemporary Artists Comes to Santa Monica in
October 2018
Saatchi Art’s The Other Art Fair, a leading international art fair
championing emerging and independent contemporary artists, will
return to the West Coast October 25-28 for a second 2018
outing in Los Angeles, this time at Santa Monica’s Barker Hangar.
Following the success of the first Los Angeles edition this past
March in downtown Los Angeles, The Other Art Fair will showcase the
work of 130 artists from around the world in this larger venue,
with an installation and artworks created exclusively for the Fair
by Guest Artist Gary Baseman.
“In March, we had record sales and attendance
for our debut in Los Angeles. Due to the size of the location, we
were limited to showcasing 95 artists selected from over 800
applicants. Now, with the additional room at the Barker Hangar, we
can give many more artists the chance to show their work,” said
Ryan Stanier, founder of The Other Art Fair. “We’re also thrilled
to have Gary Baseman’s support in offering new works and inspiring
experiences that are accessible to a wide audience.”
As Guest Artist, Gary Baseman will create an
immersive installation onsite at The Other Art Fair and offer a new
exclusive limited edition print for purchase. Baseman explores the
“beauty of the ‘bittersweetness’ of life” through painting,
performance, illustration, toy design, film, and fashion. He is
known for the humorous and sometimes devious characters woven
throughout his work, which has been seen and exhibited around the
world and includes the BAFTA and three-time Emmy Award-winning
ABC/Disney cartoon series “Teacher’s Pet.” He also created the
visual identity of the best-selling board game Cranium, has
collaborated with COACH, and has an animated documentary feature
currently in the works called “Mythical Creatures.”
Unlike exhibitors of traditional art fairs,
which are typically comprised of galleries, The Other Art Fair’s
exhibitors are the artists themselves, giving buyers unparalleled
direct access to meet artists and learn about their work firsthand.
This next edition will showcase works in a range of styles and
mediums by artists from diverse backgrounds, and over 50%
of those exhibiting will be women.
The artists are chosen by a panel of art world
experts and tastemakers to ensure attendees have the chance to
encounter works of an exceptionally high caliber. The Other Art
Fair Los Angeles’ selection committee includes: Meg Cranston,
internationally renowned artist and Fine Arts Chair at Otis College
of Art and Design; Jess Hannah, designer and founder of J. Hannah;
Bryan Kirkwood, founder and CEO of ArtMovement LA; Danielle Krysa,
artist, author, and curator of The Jealous Curator; Max Presneill,
Director and Head Curator at the Torrance Art Museum; and Rebecca
Wilson, Chief Curator and VP of Art Advisory at Saatchi Art.
“One of the invaluable aspects of The Other Art
Fair is the opportunity it gives people to meet artists in person,”
said Rebecca Wilson, Chief Curator of Saatchi Art. “With a
diverse Talks program and tours led by Saatchi Art curators, we
want to give people an inspiring and informative experience, and
the confidence to purchase works they love.”
The Saatchi Art Talks Program, led by Saatchi
Art’s Chief Curator and Selection Committee member Rebecca Wilson,
will be hosted in the Saatchi Art Lounge at The Other Art Fair. In
this engaging program, artists, collectors and cultural influencers
will gather to discuss a range of topics relating to the emerging
art scene, including a discussion hosted by KCET’s Chief
Creative Officer and “Artbound” executive producer, Juan
Devis.
The Other Art Fair Los Angeles will open on
Thursday, October 25th with a Private View sponsored by MINI
USA. Proceeds from the Private View ticket sales will support The
Other Art Fair’s official charity partner ProjectArt, which
transforms the nation’s public libraries into vital cultural hubs
by offering year-round visual art classes for youth and providing
studio spaces for emerging visual artists.
