“This week's confluence of West Week, the Avenues, and tonight's kaleidoscope of new art exists in perfect synergy, with most PDC galleries now showing art about urban/public space, starting with SUPERFRONT LA's UNPLANNED: Research and Experiments at the Urban Scale, which explores the wide range of intersecting social and aesthetic influences on how we live. Chinatown's Sam Lee Gallery offers Mary O'Malley's Super Natural — a series of large-scale drawings exploring hybridized nature, while Carl Berg Projects exhibits objects by three sculptors with very different views on the same topic, and an unsettling new video from Neha Choski. See Line Gallery celebrates an ongoing exhibition from painter Eamon O'Kane about the preservation of the iconic Modernist bungalow, E-1027; den contemporary also brings the outside in with Illuminating Devices, a collaborative photo-based installation from Sarah Rossiter and Dorsey Dunn. Walter Maciel Gallery celebrates the debut of its new PDC satellite with a curated group show of gallery artists. The next generation gets its foot in the door, too, with Doug Harvey curating Tubular!, a selection of work by Cal State Long Beach MFA candidates, and Four Legs on the Floor, the senior show at USC's Roski School of Fine Art. Most exhibitions stay up for a month; check the gallery websites for details.”

Pacific Design Center says
This might well be the single biggest week of the PDC year, with the overlap of West Week 2010, Avenues of Art & Design, and a jam-packed evening of gallery openings all converging on Melrose and Robertson. West Week 2010: Design Revolution starts Wednesday, March 24 with two full days of presentations and panels wrapping up on Thursday, March 25 just as scores of gallery openings get going on the PDC's well-appointed second floor. The visual feast continues Friday and Saturday, March 25-26, with the famed Avenues of Art and Design walk showcasing the nest-feathering best of LA's premier design district.
