Paul Young's Young Projects gallery at the PDC is gaining popularity in the Design Loves Art program.
Enter the first gallery that Paul calls the 'white box,' and immediately feel like you're in a comfortable living room with wood paneling, carpeting, tables and deep seating. There are remote controls everywhere, so you can feel free to start watching.
A few doors down in the 'black box,' translucent projection screens are arranged along a meandering path--an entirely different, immersive experience. In both environments, Paul achieves expert status in an art form that has few contenders.
"Paul is THE expert in a field where there are very players who can handle the curating and installation aspects technically of ambitious video-based work," said Stefan Simchowitz, a film producer and artistic director. "Video-based work is one of the hardest to deal with spatially. It requires a high degree of professional installation tactics, aesthetic and technological choices. There is no one like Paul in LA."
Paul Young and the Young Projects is a must-see at the PDC. Let us know what you loved about it, and if you haven't yet seen it, you can check it out Tuesday through Friday at the PDC from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
