The Pacific Design Center's Design Loves Art series for 2012 is under way, and there are two more fabulous exhibitions you can't miss this year. Design Loves Art runs at the PDC from now through March 23, 2012.
In conjunction with Los Angeles’ Istituto Italiano di Cultura, Industry Gallery presents new work by Antonio Pio Saracino. The fusion of art, architecture, design, and fashion gives a unique imprint to Saracino’s works. Between 2007 and 2008 he won the Agorafolly art competition in Bruxelles, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the European Unity. Also that year, he received the American Architecture Award from the Chicago Museum of Architecture.
Saracino was chosen as one of the Top Ten Italian Architects by Newitalianblood in 2011 and was invited to participate in the Italian Pavilion at the 54th Venice Biennale. He designed GATE 150, a monument honoring the 150th anniversary of Italy’s Unification for the Caraffa Museum in Cordoba, Argentina, and the MuBE Museum in San Paulo, Brazil.
Freeway Studios’ As It Lays is a made-for-web series that premieres in March 2012 on www.asitlays.com and concurrently as the centerpiece of artist Alex Israel's solo exhibition at Reena Spaulings Fine Art in New York. Israel took residence at the PDC in Suite 256 for one year and designed the set to interview his various on-camera guests, asking banal and lighthearted questions that stray from the usual celebrity-talk-show fare. Void of project promotion and emotional probing, the As It Lays interviews serve another function altogether: to capture each guest's likeness in the tradition of classical portraiture. As It Lays features a broad range of compelling celebrity subjects such as Vidal Sassoon, Larry Flynt and Marilyn Manson.
