Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions
An artist presentation and large vegetable contest. Enid Baxter Blader, one of the few banjo-playing artists in Los Angeles, often features fake chickens, grunting pigs and howling dogs in her videos and films. Her commitment to winding roads, scratchy sounds, drunken power tool use and art world events that more closely resemble the State Fair has inspired a giant vegetable contest to accompany her display of never-seen-before-(in L.A.)-film.

Enid Baxter Blader, one of the few banjo-playing artists in Los Angeles,
often features fake chickens, grunting pigs and howling dogs in her
videos and films. Her commitment to winding roads, scratchy sounds,
drunken power tool use and art world events that more closely resemble
the State Fair has inspired a giant vegetable contest to accompany her
display of never-seen-before-(in L.A.)-film.
Blader makes paintings, experimental films, and plays music. Her work
has been presented at the Smithsonian, Orange County Museum of Art,
Sundance Film Festival, and the Director's Guild of America. Her films
have been written about in the New York Times, ArtForum, ArtReview and
others. Her drawing series "Full Moon in Sunbury" was the recent
Artist’s Project featured in X-tra Magazine. She received her BFA from
Cooper Union in 1996 and her MFA from Claremont Graduate University in
2000. She completed a fellowship at Yale University in 1995. She works
as the Director of Production, Intercollegiate Media Studies at the
Claremont Colleges.
