A gold curtain seductively separates the museum and an artist at work ✨✨✨ #LosAngeles-based artist Rafa Esparza began his activation of the Project Room this week into a commons, to be served as a site for exhibition, production and collaboration. In the coming months Esparza will invite local artists and personalities from #LA’s #nightlife scene to produce works to display at the #museum for the duration of ‘de la Calle’ (‘from the Street’). Visitors to @theicala can walk through the gold curtain to witness the production of the artist’s signature bird sculptures created from refashioned Nike Classic Cortez shoes - a #fashion staple worn by the artist during his #adobe production, also on show in the space - #regram @elrafaesparza 👟-->🐦 | #rafaesparza #delacalle #footfetish #icala
