The LA Art Girls began four years ago, when a vibrant group of women working in painting, photography, video, and performance began supporting one another through studio visits, curatorial initiatives, and collaborative projects. Earlier this year, the Girls participated in re-stagings of several Allan Kaprow "happenings" as part of a MOCA exhibition; with this Art Fair project, they imbue a pair of temporary spaces with the familiar chaos of a Biennale, with their own work taking center stage. Along with the event's parties, performances, and screenings, of special note is Ambika Samarthya's Project CHILD installation — a politically charged piece that confronts violence against women.
