Musée Los Angeles, organized by 1301PE's Mieke Marple, is open until August 29th in downtown Los Angeles. The exhibition is loosely modeled after an exhibition organized by the Société Anonyme at the Brooklyn Museum in 1926. As with the 1926 exhibition, Musée Los Angeles includes four false domestic spaces. However, rather than creating rooms in their entirety, the rooms in Musée Los Angeles are represented through various partial structures influenced by IKEA ratios and aesthetics. More information can be found on the exhibition's online catalogue
www.musee-losangeles.com which also features a short passage by Brian Butler on Jason Rhoades's
Blue Room and Love Seat. Below are images from the installation of Musée Los Angeles.
