“Design is not closed off. It’s one of the most accessible spaces, an open source for anyone to explore,” says Alexander May. Last year the L.A.-based artist, curator, an entrepreneur co-founded SIZED, the peripatetic exhibition studio for collectible art and objects, which freely blends work by artists with more craft-oriented decorative arts, as well as industrial design. Through sophisticated curation, SIZED perfectly showcases the cross-disciplinary May describes. “It’s not about gatekeeping, but about championing the merging of talent from seemingly unrelated sectors,” he explains. For PIN-UP May curated work by 31 artists and makers spanning the North American continent, celebrating the range of American practice today. - text from the feature NEW WAVE by Alexander May
