Dave Muller: Proto Typical
ArtCenter presents Dave Muller: Proto Typical, featuring the return of Muller’s interactive record store installation, Record Pavilion 2.0.
The new exhibition features a range of multimedia works spanning watercolors, drawings, temporary murals and installations illuminating Muller’s lifelong fascination with music and its power to shape identity and culture.
Dave Muller: Proto Typical represents a homecoming for the artist as it reveals the vibrant cultural landscape of his L.A. roots. A centerpiece of the exhibition is the re-installation of Record Pavilion 2.0 (2022-2025), a functional record store, throughout the duration of the show. Muller will also debut a new work based on the College’s iconic orange dot logo, a nod to his own history and knowledge of ArtCenter. With his individual talent, curiosity and wit, this exhibition marks Muller’s first non-profit solo presentation in Los Angeles in over 20 years.
