By Tuesday night in Los Angeles, as an army of construction workers continued to deconstruct the tent for Elton John’s Oscars-viewing party, the art world had arrived in full force in the name of Frieze. Accordingly, Air Mail, along with Lehmann Maupin and MatchesFashion, kicked things off at the West Hollywood Edition with a screening of Play the Wind, the new film by the artist Alex Prager. Riley Keough, who stars in the short alongside Dimitri Chamblas, spoke about the process of filming on location in Los Angeles before the crowd moved upstairs for supper at the hotel’s rooftop restaurant. Lucy Boynton, Spike Jonze, Laure Hériard Dubreuil and Aaron Young, Waris Ahluwalia, Sandra Bernhard, and Terry Crews were among the guests who took in the sweeping view of Los Angeles—one of the most dynamic and recurring characters in Prager’s work.
