Art About Resilience and Resistance Dazzles at Frieze LA

The art world in Los Angeles was abuzz with excitement as Frieze Los Angeles opened its doors to a crowd of eager attendees on February 20. The event marked a significant moment for the city’s artistic community, especially in the wake of recent wildfires that had devastated parts of the region. Despite initial concerns about whether it was appropriate to proceed with the fair so soon after the fires, organizers decided to move forward with the event, viewing it as an opportunity for artists, collectors, and patrons to come together in support of those affected by the tragedy.

One of the standout installations at the fair was Dominique Moody’s “NOMAD,” a hand-built trailer created from wood, steel, and scavenged parts. Moody dedicated the work to those who lost everything in the fires, highlighting the impact on the arts community, particularly the Black Arts community in Altadena. Nearby, a group of artists set up an installation called “Here Lay a Home,” featuring burned and charred pieces of furniture to raise awareness of the destruction in Altadena.

Inside the fair, artworks took on new meanings in light of the recent tragedy. Chris Burden’s “Nomadic Folly,” a structure made from rugs, pillows, and curtains, highlighted the basic need for shelter, while other works addressed themes of resilience and community rebuilding. The fair also made efforts to support those affected by the wildfires, with a portion of ticket sales donated to the LA Arts Community Fire Relief Fund and initiatives to raise funds for international galleries.

Despite the somber backdrop, the fair was filled with a sense of celebration and positivity. Hollywood celebrities and art collectors mingled among the booths, admiring and purchasing artworks from a diverse range of exhibitors. Galleries reported strong sales, with one dealer selling out of sculptures by Emmanuel Louisnord Desir. The success of the fair was seen as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of LA’s art world in the face of adversity.

Expressions of solidarity and resistance were also evident throughout the fair, with artists addressing issues of xenophobia, nationalism, and inequality. Installations like Jackie Amezquita’s “trazos de energĂ­a entre trayectorias fugaces” and Ozzie Juarez’s South Central Swap Meet highlighted the importance of community and cultural identity in the face of adversity.

Overall, Frieze Los Angeles 2025 was a powerful reflection of the strength and creativity of LA’s art community. The fair provided a platform for artists to showcase their work, patrons to support the arts, and the city to come together in a spirit of unity and resilience. Despite the challenges faced by the region, the event was a testament to the enduring power of art to inspire, uplift, and unite communities.
