15 emerging innovators were asked to create objects that could conceivably be mass-produced,  are environmentally responsible, and designed to be discarded after use. The solutions they devised  are eye-opening and unexpected.
featuring work by:

Andrea Ruggiero, Adrian Kondratowicz, Atema Architecture, Design Glut, Jeff Miller, Kevin Patrick McCarthy, Paul Loebach & Chris Specce, MIO
Redstr Collective & Chris Kao, Carlos Salgado/Scrapile, Situ Studio, So Takahashi, Suzanne Tick, Takeshi Miyakawa, Tobias Wong, Tom Chiu, and more.

We hope that InDisposed will prove that creating forums for creativity is just a matter of providing a safe space for ideas. And that such grassroots happenings have the potential to make our community closer, more collaborative, and more cross-disciplinary as a result.

Exhibition from June 24 - July 10
Open Daily: from 12 - 7 pm
Closed July 4 and July 5

Gallery Preview $5 suggested donation

http://www.createfixate.com/events/next-event/

 

- Parking -
There is plenty of street parking on the surrounding blocks.
A parking lot will be open just south of the venue ($10 per car).

"Build" is a theme exploring the visual architecture of life and how it moves you.On Saturday, June 27th, emerging and established visual artists and musicians will create a collective definition for build (v.) to develop or give form according to a plan or process; create: to make something by combining materials or parts.  

Create:Fixate's artists have been engaged in the construction and design of this landscape, a space full of sound and structure that we trust will engage you in an exhilarating experience.  In turn, as the audience, we welcome you to "build" on our shapes and definitions with your own perceptions.  Each structure ventured upon has a certain push or pull that helps to define who we are in the world.  So, join us in our visual and aural journey.

This 3,500 -square-foot showroom focuses on the convergence of cutting-edge designers and eco-friendly practices.  The latest: Brightly colored, quirky and infinitely usable Adirondack chairs (crafted entirely from recycled milk jugs and margarine tubs) from Loll Designs, and ultra-chic pieces from Urban Woods, a group of designers who fashion furniture from reclaimed, SoCal-salvaged wood.  Denizen also hosts monthly receptions to introduce new artists - both traditional designers as well as those visionaries who transform last months refused into tomorrow's coffee table.
