Rodarte: States of Matter

This past weekend I made a point of visiting MOCA at the Pacific Design Center in order to see the Rodarte: States of Matter installation. The recent work in fashion and costume design by Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodate has been installed in a series of interrelated conceptual vignettes. The garments including the original ballet costumes designed by Kate and Laura for the feature film Black Swan are seen as sculptural objects. Both floors, in black and in white, are their first solo exhibit on the west coast and definitely worth a visit. Through June 5, 2011.
