Fair attendees will become part of the art in works such as Andrew Benson’s Shine Bright Plastic Diamonds presented by BAM/PFA, Lucas Murgida’s The Locksmithing Graduate Institute’s Lesson #13 presented by Charlie James Gallery, and I just wanna hold your hand presented by the Gray Area Foundation for the Arts. Discourse will zoom out from the personal to the global with the TUMBLR ARTS SUMMIT, where art world representatives will discuss their participation in Tumblr’s burgeoning online arts community. Dance duo Navarrete x Kajiyama will perform a section from BAILOUT!, a movement performance that comments on the March 2011 disasters in Japan.
