Familiar objects become performers. A grill, a lawn chair, a pool, a garden gnome—each one listens, interrupts, remembers, or lies. Together they form a backyard that changes as people move through it.

CUL-DE-SAC 404 is a Los Angeles–based art collective working across sculpture, sound, moving image, code, and live performance.

When I experience these projects I find myself at the crossroads of nostalgia and futuristic tactile experience. It’s thought provoking and captivating to see the vision of what this exhibit has to offer.
