WHAT IS TRYST:

TRYST is an international art fair for artist-run spaces and collectives as well as an international conference addressing the needs and future of global exchange for artist-run spaces, collectives, and organizations. A Torrance Art Museum (TAM) project, TRYST addresses the need for opportunities that foster artistic exchange between grassroots artist organizations worldwide. This art fair will introduce international artists to Los Angeles, a leading center for contemporary art. Connecting artists to the art-savvy Los Angeles audience, the LA arts scene, and to one another allows unlimited networking opportunities in which artists can engage with other participants and develop further international exchanges. Talks and performances will be included in the program, as well as social events for participants. This will be the third edition of TRYST.

July 17 – “The Collector” – By Daniel Silva
A novel. The story takes place against the background of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, and also the rising concerns about climate change. Gabriel Allon has retired from Israeli intelligence, but he is asked by Italian authorities to look into the theft of a painting from a private collector. The painting, which turns out to be Vermeer’s The Concert, has been missing for over thirty years, since it was stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.[2] Allon tracks down the thief, as well as the wealthy oil executive who commissioned the theft. In the process, he learns about a more important theft, of materials for a nuclear bomb. He recruits both the thief and the oil tycoon to steal a deadly secret plan from a Moscow official.[3]

August 21 – Adventures in the Louvre ” by Elaine Sciolino
Elaine Sciolino immerses herself in this magical space and helps us fall in love with what was once a forbidding fortress. Exploring galleries, basements, rooftops, and gardens, Sciolino demystifies the Louvre, introducing us to her favorite artworks, both legendary and overlooked, and to the people who are the museum’s lifeblood: the curators, the artisans producing frames and engravings, the builders overseeing restorations, the firefighters protecting the aging structure. Adventures in the Louvre reveals the secrets of this grand monument of Paris and basks in its timeless, seductive power.
