The Assembly returns on December 8th, 2018 at 7pm with its third outing. The Assembly is the A+D's opening reception held in celebration of the museum's four new winter exhibition. This time we celebrate with food by DOAP Kitchen, a Los Angeles based virtual kitchen specializing in delivering curated home-style meals. With beer generously sponsored by Arts District staple and patron of the arts, Angel City Brewery. Form: Pioneering Design will also be presenting a single night installation by Timothy Robert Smith focusing on place making in LA through a panoramic train ride experience as a statement of Form's editorial relaunch in January. While at the event, do not forget to stop by Archinect Outpost to discover some of today's most creative, eclectic and hard to find publications focused on architecture, art and design. 

This Assembly celebrates the opening of the museums winter exhibitions and its newly created design shop, the impermanent collection.

Volume by Rios Clementi Hale

The work of young artists and musicians working for the first time in deep collaboration with designers from Rios Clementi Hale Studios. This will also mark the opening of Rios Clementi Hale’s Alley Fellowship, a partnership with A+D Museum which aims to support cross-disciplinary emerging artists.

Impermanent Collection

The Impermanent Collection is the A+D’s translation of a museum shop. It was conceived of as a means of creating a space where the lines between art and commodity can be blurred and dabbled with. The space is curated with objects by a series of rotating artists, designers, and architects. The objects are neither singular nor mass-produced, making architecture and design accessible to the public through the act of collection. The choices made in the impermanent collection are ones that speak to the visitors’ recognition of the importance of acknowledging architecture and design in everyday life. The list of participating designers are Abigail Coover, Adrian Kay Wong, Alessio Grancini + Runze Zhang, Andrea Sanchez, Andreina Pepe, Ben Warwas, Bryan Cantley, Chris Hoffman, Christine Robillard, Clark Thenhaus, Coleman Butts, Common Accounts, Constance Vale, Dutra Brown, Ebrahim Poustinchi, Eli Keller, Francisco Alarcon, Galo Canizares, George Stoyanov, Hans Koesters, HUMan, Iman Ansari + Marta Nowak, Jack Stewart Castner, Jeff Halstead, Jonathan Rieke, Karim Saleh, Laida Aguirre, Luciano Menghini, Mark Ericson, Matthew Allen, Medium Office, Mike Nesbit, Nicholas McMillan, Kyle James Miller, Nick Kinney, Office Kovacs, Outpost Office, Patrick Geske, Preliminary Research Office, Rachael McCall, Shane Reiner Roth, SPORTS, Steven Andrew Kocher, Vincent Pocsik, Walaid Sehwail+Kayleen Kulesza, Weather Projects, Zachary Tate Porter, Zeitguised.
