The Los Angeles Contemporary Archive presents A Haunted Fundraiser. Something is rotten in the art field! See the archives transformed into a swampy abyss of despair, where the demonic wraiths of the aristocracy’s interior decorators play—the commercial art gallery! In the great graveyard of dreams, the fiendish crypt of creative confusion, you shall find not only the deceased within, yet those familiar and dearly beloved who too are dead inside! Find yourself in the gateway of decay to a screaming pit of a painterly purgatory, the grimacing corpses of formalism, the husks of dead MacBooks that ran Adobe CS6 for the last decade, the Cemetery of the Canceled, the ghouls of social integrity, and the ghosts of volunteers so unpaid that they perished. Take heed! Beware! The art market is quite a scare!
Witness horrifying installations concocted by artist Olivia Mole and works by Scott Benzel, Simone Montemurno, Christopher Richmond, and Andy Cabrera. New petrifying sonic performances by Wryngwyrm, Sellardoor, 1473, and Otto Splotch. Entry tickets can be redeemed inside for a serving of wine or non-alcoholic beverage, with more devilish drinks available for purchase. Funds from this event will be used to replace digital media equipment bygone from LACA early last month, such as scanners and cameras we make available onsite for our visitors among the living.
*If you are experiencing financial difficulties and cannot afford a ticket, please reach out directly to info@lacarchive.com. While this project is a fundraiser for LACA it is our priority that our events remain accessible to our communities.
