Full Details of the Frieze Los Angeles 2024 Program

Details of the artist-led programming at Frieze Los Angeles 2024 have been revealed, including Art Production Fund’s “Set Seen,” a free, public exhibition of ambitious interactive works, and a section devoted to Los Angeles nonprofits.  

Christine Messineo (Director of Americas, Frieze) said: “This year, Frieze Los Angeles is proud to connect with the organizations that make LA such a compelling home for the arts. Once again, we will showcase Art Production Fund and their important work commissioning public art. On a personal note, I am particularly looking forward to welcoming some of Los Angeles’s beloved nonprofits to the fair, and to amplifying the vital work these organizations do in supporting the city’s diverse communities.”

Frieze Projects: “Set Seen” Curated by Art Production Fund

Art Production Fund returns to Frieze Los Angeles for its second year, curating a new onsite program titled “Set Seen” that speaks to constructed environments and how they relate to our perception of reality and understanding of space. The exhibition, sited across the Santa Monica Airport campus, will present artist projects in dialogue with the rich history of set design in Los Angeles and the role that Hollywood set designers played in camouflaging the Douglas Aircraft Company factory at Santa Monica Airport during WWII. The featured artists are Sharif Farrag, Derek Fordjour, Pippa Garner, Matt Johnson, Ryan Flores and Cynthia Talmadge. “Set Seen” will be open to the public and free of charge. With support from the City of Santa Monica, Johnson and Talmadge’s works will be on view beyond the fair, until April 7, 2024. Read more about the works in “Set Seen”.

Casey Fremont (Executive Director, Art Production Fund) said: “Art Production Fund is honored to partner once again with Frieze to present this ambitious on-site public art program. This year’s dynamic presentation builds upon the success of Frieze Projects 2023 and will be on view during the fair and beyond. Through their support of the program, Frieze and The City of Santa Monica demonstrate their commitment to public art and making art widely accessible. It is truly an honor to be a part of this incredible gift to the city.”

Nonprofits
