The first thing I said walking in was that it felt like the Last Supper meets Burning Man! A visual feat! There was a long dining table. Glass sculptures. Taxidermy. Hand-designed wallpaper full of hearts, cactus, teeth, and brains. Justin from Blue Door Magazine and I sat down with Julie Perlin Lee, executive director of Laguna Art Museum, right in the middle of “The Tipping Point” by the De la Torre Brothers. It's a dinner party that's already over, and we showed up a little too late. We talk about art, excess, history repeating itself, and why slowing down long enough to really look might be the best velvet hour of all.
