The LA International Photographic Art Expo (aka photoLA) hits Barker Hanger for its 18th-annual three-day jubilee. Over 70 worldwide galleries and publishing houses set up shop, delivering the finest in vintage and contemporary photography along with selections from the tangents of photo-based art. LACMA hosts a series of related conversations with Charlotte Cotton, the museum's Head and Curator of the Photography Department. Cotton leads confabs on January 10 with professionals like David Maisel, Bruce Davidson, and Diane Keaton. Photographer Catherine Opie lectures back at the Santa Monica Airport-adjacent Ruskin Group Theater on the 11th.
