These works will kick off LACE’s 30th anniversary and celebrate three outrageous decades of performance and media art in Los Angeles. All works will become a part of the LACE Media Archive. The LACE archive represents a crucial site of cultural history for southern California. The past three decades of contemporary art in Los Angeles have featured diverse and diffuse practices and the LACE archival holdings are one of the primary sources of information of this important work.

PROCEEDS BENEFIT LACE, a crucial resource to the history of art-making post 1978 in Los Angeles. Join us in celebrating LA's rich legacy of creative production, LACE's unforgettable part in that history and ringing in its feisty future!
