Your (Un)Natural Garden at Descanso Gardens

In April 2022 we celebrated the opening of one of our most ambitious immersive projects. Entrusted by artist Adam Schwerner to bring his wild vision into reality, we set to work producing this killer exhibit. Along with creative director Quinlin Messenger of JUST design and the fabrication company Pink Sparrow, we created six fully immersive large-scale installations, seven independent site-specific sculptures, as well as a meta-museum which housed information on the exhibit along with outside student art responding to the installations and concepts. The final result was both a critical and popular smash hit, with an emphasis on accessibility and sustainability.

As guests entered Descanso Gardens' lush eighty acres of botanical-realness they would follow our seven Snakeway sculptures to the gallery and art space. These multimedia art pieces acted as demarcations for the guest's travel and to let them know they were on the right track. Soon they would find themselves at the Stuart Haaga Gallery and the historic Boddy House. Here they would explore the six immersive installations and meta-museum: All the Bells, The Uncomfy Room, Zeppelin Mass, Agora, The Boa Room, The Manor Library, and finally the Process and History Room. More than a feast for the senses, these installations dealt with heavy concepts; personal, scientific, political, cultural, and philosophical. With something for you, your kids, your friend visiting from Kansas, and your friend's friend's friend visiting from Katmandu, Your Un(natural) Garden aimed to inspire play, conversation, and collaboration!

Big shout-outs to Darren Ross of Tierra Verde Industries, Chase White of Recycled Movie Sets, and Adi Goodrich of Singsing Studios for hooking us up with the reclaimed, recycled, upcycled, and unused supplies that made this one a hit with the planet as well!

LAUV - "Drugs and the Internet" Music Video

In collaboration with Jenna Marsh and Elvis Maynard, we designed and were the production partner for this music video for LAUV's song "Drugs and the Internet." Utilizing a mishmash of early-2000s iconography, we created a surrealist meta-millennial milieu in keeping with LAUV's artistic vision. It debuted on MTV and Rolling Stone. Oh and the two hairless cats are named Biggie and Gucci. 

HUDA Beauty - Mercury In Retrograde Palette Release Party

Daughter of Design summoned us to oversee the art direction ond fabrication of this galactic Huda Beauty makeup release party for their Mercury in Retrograde palette. We created a crystal forest, a Mylar photo wall with custom neon, floor decals, and graphic posters. 

Scoops Ahoy! Stranger Things Season 3 Release

In collaboration with m ss ng p eces and 22Squared, we designed and installed two fantastically nautical pop-up ice cream shops at two Baskin Robbins locations (Toronto and Los Angeles) for Netflix's Stranger Things Season 3 release. We had 36 hours to transform each Baskin Robbins store into the Scoops Ahoy from the show. We also fabricated an ice cream dispensing boat on wheels that set sail on the rocky seas of Hollywood Boulevard to the Stranger Things Season 3 premiere - docking at Tower Records, the London Hotel, and the Santa Monica Pier at the Stranger Things Fun Fair. The project has been nominated for an EMMY and shouted out in Time Out, Buzzfeed, The Hollywood Reporter, Hypebae, Ad Age, Flood Magazine, and the LA Times. 

Rita Ora x Spotify Listening Party

BWG and Spotify called upon us to bring London to West Hollywood by handling the art direction for Rita Ora's music release party for her song Phoenix. Drawing inspiration from her father's pub "The Queens Arms," as well as, the greater London ambiance, we created a space juxtaposed: modern LA with a dash of London of yesteryear. The event was featured in The Blast & The Daily Mail! 

BRIGHT

Bright was a limited and exclusive popup gallery exhibit at COMUNITYmade in downtown Los Angeles. Bright's Executive Producer Max Senator had a desire to create "a carnival of chaos" in the DTLA arts district. We were there to guide the chaos into action by installing walls, producing content, curating the pieces and hiring the performers. The exhibit was featured in The Hollywood Reporter and LA Weekly.
