Gallery Installations, an exhibit of work by locally-based artists, will be on display
this summer in the atrium courtyard at Gallery Lofts in downtown’s stylish
Arts District.
Gallery Lofts sales manager Elizabeth Lande is curator for Gallery Installations,
which features large art works by graduates of the Southern California Institute of
Architecture (Sci-Arc), which is located only blocks from the Gallery Lofts site at 120
South Hewitt Street.
Gallery Installations will be open for viewing daily, except Tuesday and
Wednesday, with special focus on the Downtown Los Angeles ArtWalk dates of June 9th
and July 14th.
The exhibit initially features the work of two design groups — arcBUREAU and
ARCHEFFECT.
arcBUREAU’s design group is headed by Josef West (Class of ’08). Their
project, CSS-1, will consist of light-gauge steel stud framing of an articulated basic form
module, intended to develop the method in which assembly instructions are
communicated to the field for construction.
ARCHEFFECT Design is a collaboration of SCI-Arc Alumni designers Lilliana
Castro and Alan Guillen (Class of ’08). Their work, entitled “porousCITY” investigates
the borders of living and public environments, providing lighting, filters and green
elements within one modular structure.
Gallery Lofts is a community of 33 loft condominiums, conveniently located at
120 South Hewitt Street, within easy walking distance of Little Tokyo, the Little
Tokyo/Arts District Metro Stop and the Dash Bus Stop.
The first phase of 16 homes at Gallery Lofts boasts 26-foot floor-to-ceiling glass
windows, opening onto a central atrium court with lush landscaping and water features.

while second phase homes, each with a distinctive design, range from roughly 900 to
