BIO
Lara Bank is a Los Angeles artist producing participatory and static artworks questioning notions of culpability, power, ownership, space, communication, equity, and accomplishment. Her projects often expand upon where art can happen and test the limits of what we think of as an artistic practice. Her most notable works are The Portable Forest, wearable and portable foliage for public interactions (2008-2012), and Sea and Space Explorations (2007-2010), LA, a 501(c)(3) non-profit art gallery.
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.
