Acts of Liberation Exhibition
‘Without community, there is no liberation.’ –Audre Lorde
Curated by Taylor Bythewood–Porter, this group exhibition is a celebration of the Fair’s 10th Los Angeles edition, this exhibition centers freedom, agency, and the reclamation of oneself.
Featuring 19 participating artists from the US and abroad, this community boldly expresses the power of freedom. Our artists approached the call for liberty with fearlessness and vigor through their compelling subjects, deconstructed forms, and choice in artistic medium.
Unlock your truest self. Co-presented by The Other Art Fair and Saatchi Art both onsite at the Fair and online.

Dissection of the Square
Art + Math? Artist Benjamin Lord (@benjaminlordstudio) has some answers for you.
Dissection of the Square is an edition of 1372 unique toner-based prints. The forms are based on a recent mathematical proof demonstrating all of the ways to divide a square into 7 similar (equally proportioned) rectangles. Some of the solutions are obvious, but many are highly unintuitive. It’s a geometric abstraction for the age of intelligent machines.
Benjamin’s vibrant and fluorescent prints are 12×12″, the size of a vinyl record album cover. Come and flip through these prints like record-store style racks.
