Birthday Show
Birth of Deli
March 24th - April 14th 2019
A disposable ritual for the sake of temporary whimsy, a specific set of aesthetics and objects we all recognize from an early age, only existing within the world of birthday, birthday party, every year we are faced with this dimension-
and the choice to indulge or not.
Featuring a lineup of artists that are LA raised, birthday will not only explore the concepts and illusions of birthday ritual, but the way these rituals show up in a diverse, metropolitan city.
