If you aren't familiar with MOCA's Step and Repeat, it's not what it sounds like. Far from a lit up red carpet with photographers awaiting celebrities, the annual event's name alludes to seeing one art piece, performance, or installation and then stepping on to the next. Over the course of three days over 30 artists present works.
To top it all off, the glorious bunch headed over to The Standard, Downtown LA to keep the party going. As the result of the historic rains that drenched LA this past weekend, the party was moved inside to SPiN Standard. The lovely Juliana Huxtable was on the ones and twos.
Here are 10 of our favorite moments...
1. Freak City LA's installation at the MOCA Store
