The Flog and the road to fette's gallery.
In April 2005, French visual artist Fette launched her blog
The Flog to connect with the LA's flourishing art scene and to
promote the work of the region's artists. Eighteen months later on October
20, 2006, she opened fette's gallery to public and critical acclaim with
the inaugural show I
Know You, But You Don't Know Me. Since then, Fette's Culver
City-based gallery has presented exhibitions, film projections and performances
that remain true to the gallery's mission: to stand as an independent
laboratory to generate new dialogues between artists working both in and
outside of California.
Over the past year, fette's gallery has also come to play a vital role
in Southern California's dynamic art scene-the role of the cutting-edge
creative space. According to gallerist Robert Berman, who owns a Bergamot
Station gallery by the same name, "Los Angeles needs an underground,
and fette's gallery is the ultimate underground art scene-the gallery
is hard to find, but once you get there you're truly inspired by her choices."
Celebrating the past, looking to the future.
fette's gallery One-Year Anniversary is a exclamation point to a successful
first year, and a harbinger of a very busy year ahead-a sign that Fette
and her gallery are moving in a positive direction. In addition to assembling
an exciting array of exhibitions for 2008, fette's gallery is honored
to be a part of a number of upcoming fairs and projects: Fette was recently
invited by Chung
King Project to exhibit work at the gallery's booth during the
Zoo
Art Fair in London in early October; fette's gallery will be showing
in room 105 at the Aqua
Art Fair in Miami this December; and Fette has been invited to
participate in Project(O?), an international side-event of Art Rotterdam
organized by MAMA
in February 2008.
