Unframed: Exploring the Profound Inspiration Behind 'Standing on the Ground with Your Body in the Sky' Performance Workshop at LACMA by Edgar Fabián Frías

Dear friends,

I am absolutely thrilled to share some extraordinary news with you all. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) has just published an enthralling blog post on their renowned platform, Unframed. The talented Elizabeth Gerber has eloquently crafted this post, beautifully capturing the essence of my upcoming performance workshop, "Standing on the Ground with Your Body in the Sky." It's an immense honor to see my work acknowledged and celebrated in such a profound manner.

In this captivating blog post, I had the opportunity to delve into the depths of inspiration that led me to create this transformative workshop. It all began with a pivotal moment from my past, a life-altering encounter within the very walls of LACMA. The museum served as the catalyst, igniting my passion for art and guiding me on a path of exploration and self-discovery. This workshop marks a poignant full-circle moment, allowing me to share the profound impact LACMA had on my artistic journey.

"Standing on the Ground with Your Body in the Sky" is not just a workshop; it's an invitation to transcend traditional boundaries and immerse ourselves in the transformative power of creativity. By embracing a wide range of artistic practices, we can envision alternate histories and futures, amplifying our collective voices and effecting meaningful change. Art, as I firmly believe, is both political and powerful, capable of reshaping lives through unconventional means.

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for the overwhelming support you have shown. The response to this workshop has been incredible, and we are nearing capacity. However, I am committed to ensuring that no one misses out on this transformative experience. If you were unable to secure tickets, please reach out to me by Wednesday morning. I may be able to assist you in joining us on this profound journey.

I am overflowing with excitement as we prepare to gather at LACMA tomorrow for an unforgettable celebration of art and performance. Let us come together, embrace the transformative power of creativity, and forge connections that transcend boundaries.

Join me as we make our mark in the vibrant Los Angeles art scene and ignite a collective spark of inspiration.
