Lara
Bank is an artist, professor, and gallery director working within the
Los Angeles area. She produces primarily conceptualist artwork in
a variety of mediums. She defines much of her work as
place
artwork.
Place artwork is art that creates and defines a spatial location
to be occupied by the artwork, statements, and thoughts of others. This
involves primarily context development and collaboration. Other
projects operate as installation, painting, interactive work, sculptural
and video art.
Bank received an MFA in Studio Art from Cal Arts in
1998 and an MFA in Painting from the University of Maryland at
College Park in 1996. She is the Executive Director and founder of Sea
