Save and Misbehave: Design Loves Art

I have long yearned to have a really good reason to stop by the Pacific Design Center.  I’ve tried to pretend time and again that I’m in the middle of redecorating my house and that I simply must go through every showroom in the building, but my story quickly loses validity and soon the fun goes out the door.  Thursday evening, September 24, the PDC will launch Design Loves Art, a series of rotating contemporary art exhibits and discussions that will bring together different galleries, artists, curators, and even architects under one fabulous, blue roof. 

Many of the artists on display will be established up-and-comers from a wide variety of backgrounds, styles, themes, and media.  You’ll recognize a number of projects and galleries that indeed design does love; they include: Christopher Grimes Gallery, LA><ART, Diana Thater Projects, Sam Lee Gallery, and more.  Throughout October, you’ll find Comfortably Numb, an exhibit in the Center Lobby of the PDC featuring work by Lynn Aldrich and Krysten Cunningham, among others, as well as corresponding exhibits and talks in both New York and Florida at the Decoration and Design Building and Design Center of the Americas, respectively.  As their schedule fills up, so will yours.  From now on, no need to lie about the stresses of renovating a house, you can just say… I’m here to see what this whole Design Loves Art thing is about.  The next obstacle to overcome is getting to sit on that huge chair.  We’ll see what we can do. 

Design Loves Art will be launched this Thursday evening at the Pacific Design Center.  Comfortably Numb is an exhibit that will run through October in the Center Lobby.  For more information, please click here.  Please click here for a map of participating galleries.
