The Apartment by The Line – Los Angeles

Info

8463 Melrose Place, 2nd Floor
Los Angeles, CA 90069
Tuesday-Sunday, 11am-6pm
Or by appointment

Words

The Line might be best considered a purveyor of beautiful things; from objects and clothing to homewares and digital content. And they have recently opened their second apartment atelier, following the success of the original New York enterprise. The new Melrose Place location is now open, and showcases the same pared back, refined and luxurious taste that gained the original concept store such a fine reputation in the first place.

Earlier in the year I had the chance to revisit the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. When I was last there, Richard Serra’s Sight Point (for Leo Castelli) had been dismantled to make way for improvements to the Museumplein. Not this time though; divesting myself of all the baggage that comes with art history, I had one of the most moving experiences I've ever had with a piece of sculpture, contemplating this gargantuan geometric form with fresh eyes.

After rumours circulating for the past year or so, tomorrow sees Totokaelo open at 54 Crosby Street in New York City.

Boo-Hooray and Gavin Brown's Enterprise present A Living Collage

Info

Gavin Brown's Enterprise
291 Grand Street
New York, NY 10002
July 8 – July 31, 2015

Words

While last weekend saw the final show at Gavin Brown's downtown, West Side space (he's moving the Enterprise to a former Brewery in Harlem, close to where he lives) this week saw the opening of one of the best exhibitions I've seen in a while, at his East Side project space in Chinatown. A Living Collage: The Living Theatre, Judith Malina and Julian Beck 1947-2015 opened on Wednesday evening, and gave a glimpse into the paper-based world of the legendary American experimental theatre company through flyers, posters, programs and prints. Many of these same pieces are offered for sale, or in the case of some of the smaller items: for free, or whatever donation you felt inclined to make. All this gave an unprecedented look into the history of New York theatre, music and arts through the decades and eyes of two of the city's pioneers and patrons in these fields. The fact that you could take some of that home with you was simply mind-blowing. Not to be missed.

Arcana: Books on the Arts is a great store located on Washington Boulevard in Culver City, California. Since 1984 they have offered a wide range of new, rare and out of print books on 20th and 21st century photography, art, architecture, cinema, design, and fashion. I have never left the store empty-handed. During one visit I was chatting with an employee about a long out of print magazine that I was looking for. He told me to hold on while he ran across the street to their storage facility (they have over 100,000 items on hand) and returned with a pristine copy that I quickly added to my purchase pile. They recently launched a beautiful new website designed by Art Design Office. The site has a modern feel, which compliments the psychical location well. Now you can shop 24 hours a day without having to be in the Los Angeles area.

After opening one of the brand's most beautiful flagship stores on Melrose Place in Los Angeles, A.P.C. continues to expand on the West Coast. The French label's latest shop is located in the heart of the historical downtown district, built in two identical, adjacent cubic spaces. The two areas partially meet, however there are a pair central totems creating a division between the men’s and women’s collections.
