The Pop-Up Storefront in Los Angeles.

The Storefront for Art and Architecture is moving beyond the confines of New York. “Pop-Ups” will avoid the conventional gallery format by temporarily taking over unoccupied spaces in unexpected neighborhoods around the world to exhibit and discuss pressing topics in art and architecture, and to create a global network of dialogue centered on Storefront New York.
On April 11, the first Pop-Up Storefront will open in a partially unused Los Angeles print works shop on Sunset Boulevard, with the exhibition CCCP (Cosmis Communist Constructions Photographed), which was exhibited last April in Storefront New York. Then, Pop-Ups plan to make appearances in Milan during the 2008 Salone del Mobile furniture fair, April 16-21, and England for the London Festival of Architecture, June 20-July 20.
