Inside Out by Susan Silton @ PMCA

Some interesting work going on back in da hood:
"The Pasadena Museum of California Art (PMCA) is pleased to announce Susan Silton’s Inside Out,
a site-specific architectural intervention and installation in two
parts. The work, based on Silton’s investigation of the stripe as a
social and cultural signifier, includes what will be the PMCA’s first
site-specific installation: the museum’s exterior will be wrapped in a
multi-colored, striped industrial tarp modeled after fumigation tents
commonly seen in the Los Angeles landscape. The museum’s interior
Project Room will contain an installation composed entirely of striped
goods, everything from housewares to clothing to art objects—a
commentary on the stripe’s ubiquitous presence as a seductive
consumable. In its entirety, the exhibition considers the curious
evolution of the stripe—from its use as a transgressive signifier in
the Middle Ages to its more recent associations with power, style,
commerce, and abstract painting."
