On Friday, Todd Gray dresses as a West African griot to deliver an account of living with Iggy Pop in the ‘70s, connecting a lineage of rock ‘n' roll to the Mississippi Delta and back to the traditional African drumming that textures his performance.

ART LOS ANGELES READER
The occasion of ALAC 2017 marks the release of the third issue of the Art Los Angeles Reader. The free
newspaper engages with critical and provocative ideas regarding contemporary art, asking acclaimed
writers to reflect on the relationships between the aesthetic, political and social dimensions of Los
Angeles. Alongside publication of the Reader is the launch of the Art Los Angeles Reader website, where
current and past issues may be accessed online, at reader.la
The 2017 issue considers the endless subjectivities of Los Angeles’ interior spaces and how they shape
and inform domestic life and artistic creation. From Samara Golden’s engrossing installations to Tony
Duquette’s boastful theatricality, the Reader traces notions of power, intimacy and ritual in a series of
articles and interviews.
As part of its publication, the Reader includes artist commissions made specifically for newsprint. Sean
Raspet debuts POOL, a new limited-edition fragrance made purely of synthetic compounds. Within the
Reader is A Few Houses in Los Angeles–ink and pen sketches of mid-century homes by William Leavitt
inspired from real estate listings in the Los Angeles Times.
In the issue, L.A.’s hidden nodes of power are explored by Courtney Stephens and Micah Silver; the
late ‘70s video work of Barbara McCullough and Senga Nengudi is revisited by Aria Dean; the New
York Times’ boosterism of L.A.’s art scene is scrutinized by Travis Diehl; the significance and legacy of
the Scottish Rite Masonic Temple on Wilshire Blvd. is considered by Catherine Wagley; a long-lost
ranch designed by Tony Duquette is remembered by Kate Wolf and artist Samara Golden is interviewed
on her architecture of fantasy by Tracy Jeanne Rosenthal.
In conjunction with the release of the 2017 issue, the fair is pleased to announce the launch of the Reader
Lounge, a specifically designated area within the main exhibitor section where visitors may find copies
of the issue and read them at their leisure.
Art Los Angeles Reader is published by Fair Grounds Associates and is edited by Tracy Jeanne Rosenthal.
