On the occasion of Frieze week LA 2025, you’re invited to join us for an exclusive artist studio visit and talk featuring David Van Eyssen in conversation with art advisor Patricia Shea on Saturday February 22nd at 10:30am in Santa Monica.

This morning of art, innovation, and deep conversation will take us on a journey through the fascinating intersection of art and technology in an engaging discussion about how artists create with technology, asking the questions: can art challenge the way we see the world, and how does technology shape creativity?

This is more than just an art talk—it's also a chance to immerse yourself in Van Eyssen’s latest work, "Encounter," which is a unique life-scale extended reality sculpture that was first shown at MOCA London during Frieze 2024.

The work reimagines the impact of a collision, transforming it into a breath-taking moment of connection. Through augmented reality, video, lenticular artworks, and cutting-edge 2.5D relief pigment prints, it allows you to explore how digital and traditional mediums blend to tell powerful human stories in new ways.

Whether you’re an art lover, tech enthusiast, or someone seeking fresh inspiration, this event offers a space to learn, share ideas, and spark meaningful conversations with fellow art-lovers. 🤝

You also have the option to join us to continue the art-full explorations during a curated walk-through of the POST show afterwards and/or join for our 1pm brunch at the Cloverfield! Fair tickets are NOT included in ticket price and must be purchased separately.

Let’s explore the future of art—together!

Please note this is a gender inclusive event open to all with an interest in art, community & connection. Coffee & light breakfast to be served.
