The internationally celebrated Frieze Los Angeles art fair returns to the Santa Monica Airport for its sixth edition from Thursday, Feb. 20 to Sunday, Feb. 23 at the Santa Monica Airport  featuring an expanded program and more than 100 local and global galleries inside the  structure  designed by Kulapat Yantrasast’s architectural studio WHY.

Titled Inside Out, it will feature site-specific works by Lita Albuquerque, Jackie Amézquita, Claire Chambless, Joel Gaitan, Madeline Hollander,Greg Ito, Ozzie Juarez and Dominique Moody, in an exploration of perspective: how personal histories and experiences shape an understanding of Los Angeles, its culture and landscape.
