Preview: Before and Further by DABSMYLA with Modernica

Multi-talented artistic team DABSMYLA joined forces with Modernica to bring a one of a kind experience to the great city of Los Angeles. We were beyond thrilled to get a sneak peak of the full installation before the opening this weekend.

The Spanish style building, located on Modernica's factory property, couldn't have been a more perfect canvas for Dabs and Myla to transform. In every direction you turn, your eyes are immediately drawn to their brightly colored paint covering the walls, their one of a kind structures, and all of the neat little hidden additions that make this a truly unique art installation. We're excited for this to be in Los Angeles and we know if you go, you're going to fully enjoy the transformed space.

p.s. look out for the old school binoculars and make sure you take a look out the window with them!
