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.

*There will be a sneak peek of the exhibition during ArtNight Pasadena on Friday, March 13.

Dave Muller is asking the ArtCenter community (students, faculty, staff, and alumni) to submit an image of something orange that reminds them of the College. The photo will serve as an inspiration for his painting titled All the Things You Are, which will be presented in the exhibition.
