Kelly Wearstler launches collectible design gallery Side Hustle
American interior designer Kelly Wearstler has unveiled Side Hustle, an exhibition platform showcasing work from a broad range of artists and designers.
Side Hustle will bring together work across various disciplines, from sculpture and jewellery to film and automotive design, in a regular exhibition format.
Its inaugural show, Again, Differently, will take over the pool house of Wearstler's Beverly Hills home from 16 October.
Each exhibition will be presented both in the form of a curated physical show and online.
According to Wearstler, Side Hustle was founded to champion the many artists and designers she has collaborated with over the years to bring her recognisable interior designs to life.
"My studio practice has long integrated work from across such a wide range of creative disciplines," said Wearstler.
"It is this exploration that led to the birth of Side Hustle – a space for ideas to unfold beyond the logic of client or commission, working to present works that contribute to the ongoing evolution of design as a cultural practice."
The Again, Differently exhibition will feature 10 artists and designers from across the USA, South America, the UK and Europe, working with diverse materials including lacey garments and architectural remnants.
Among the participants are artist Sonia Gomes, installation designer Joana Schneider, sculptor Leonor Antunes and artist Dozie Kanu.
Throughout her 30-year career, Wearstler has been responsible for myriad eclectic interior designs. She is known for her designs for the American hospitality group Proper Hotels, including the Austin Proper Hotel and Residences.
Recently, she turned her hand to a luxury animal hospital in Ontario, Canada.
The photography is by Paige Campbell unless stated otherwise.
