This ASP x TBP special installation during LA Art Week is located at the west courtyard and Room 220 at Startup Art Fair at The Kinney Hotel in Venice Beach. Come with a big appetite to feast on all the art on the menu. The vibrant 16 feet long table will have mixed media artworks, paper pulp sculptures and ceramics - surrounded by large-scale paintings and textiles hanging from the floor above to create a secret garden that needs to be discovered. The artworks continue to their hotel room 220 where room service means a bed full of delicious art with walls adorned with art.
This will all be happening within Startup Art Fair (10 mins from Frieze with free shuttles from fair) so swing by all the rooms to explore all the artworks and get a complimentary collab tote by Liquitex x Mary Lai.
Cheers & Bon Appetit!
