So there is a fairly new and interesting exhibition at the Geffen Contemporary at Moca this last week focusing around the new Mercedes coupe they are launching next year for the younger audience. It is an audio and visual experience curated by Mike D from the Beastie Boys. The exhibition and installations will be there April 20 - May 6. I am planning to head to La this weekend so hopefully I can make it and take some photos of the beautiful Mercedes! Besides viewing the vehicle and what new features the brand has to offer, there will be other designers, music festival, performances, and cultural food, which I love traveling for!
Mike collected 17 artists from multiple disciplines to create an exceptional 17 days event full of concerts, DJ nights, performances and installations
Moca: "The Avant/Garde Diaries presents Transmission LA: AV CLUB, curated by Mike D, an interdisciplinary festival featuring the work of 16 contemporary artists, musicians, designers, filmmakers, and chefs, including Peter Coffin, Jim Drain, Will Fowler, Benjamin Jones, Mike Mills, Takeshi Murata, and Tom Sachs. The presentation will include the international debut of the Mercedes-Benz Concept Style Coupé and an evening concert and DJ series featuring performances by many special guests, including Santigold."
For those who'd like to find out more about the curator and events, here is their website and you can reserve free advance performance tickets for specific dates through there! I'm sure this is a great event for the street artists and young crowd to attend to since DJs have been an excellent entertainment factor for these festivals. I'm glad Mercedes is finally branching out to something new and bold. This is the first time I've seen the company doing a completely new theme around their series (A Class). Anyone in class interested to go? If so, why and what would you guys go for? I will update this post with photos and review if I get to go this weekend!
