Inside Out by Susan Silton @ PMCA

Fumigation
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."
