In Pictures: Frieze Projects – Against the Edge

Curated by Jay Ezra Nayssan and Del Vaz Projects, Frieze Projects: ‘Against the Edge’ takes place though February 19, across the Westside of Los Angeles.

At each location, an artist’s work has been placed in conversation with an historic cultural building, unearthing narratives of liberation and creativity as well as exile and occlusion.

• At the Thomas Mann House (1941) in Pacific Palisades, visitors will find the work of Moroccan-born, French artist Nicola L. 
• Villa Aurora (1928), the former home of writer Lion Feuchtwanger and meeting point for German emigres such as Bertolt Brecht, Alma Mahler and Arnold Schoenberg, will play host to the work of LA-based artist Kelly Akashi
• Beyond Baroque, a leading literary arts organization whose building was originally Venice City Hall, will show the work of Tony Cokes
