Saturday, March 2, 2019 from 6:30-10pm the A+D Museum will unveil its next rotation of The Assembly. The Assembly is the museum's new tradition; it is a gathering. This approach to exhibition openings is an expression of the museum's mission to join together a diverse group in celebration of different disciplines of design and points of view. In this outing the museum will be celebrating 4 new exhibits being opened to the public.

The main Gallery will feature Translucent Vaults, the A+D Museum’s exploration of digital access to cultural institutions and art. The exhibition, curated by the A+D, serves to ask what issues, benefits, and possible futures arise with the shift from physical to digital access.  

This marks the second outing of Rios Clementi Hale’s Alley Fellowship, a partnership with A+D Museum which aims to support cross-disciplinary emerging artists. Sarah Jones, this round’s Alley Fellow, presents Tangle, an immersive simultaneously lush and ordered environment where your perspective is always changing. 

Preliminary Research Office presents Notes on Techniques, an exhibition which walks through six architectural objects with accompanying notes, presenting various methods for assembling and manipulating geometry. These models and their adjoining notes in drawing, text, and 3D form, will span two galleries, creating all encompassing entry into their world. 

A+D also presents Shapes of Fences, an installation aimed at bringing awareness to the current detainment of migrant children in the United States. This installation aims to remind the audience the statistics do not exist in isolation, but each number is a child, an imagination and life, halted and thrown into chaos. 

Impermanent Collection, the museum’s emerging artist design shop, reveals its new acquisitions with a fresh rotation of artists’ work. This will be accompanied by a pop-up by Noun, a handbag collection by Xin Zhao. Beer generously sponsored by Arts District staple and patron of the arts, Angel City Brewery. 

The Assembly is free to students and members.
