Openings: Rooms @ Scion Space

On Saturday night, AM attended the opening of “Rooms” at Scion Space (previewed).

Video: Adam Wallacavage

Have you ever wondered what the house of an artist who sculpts octopus chandeliers looks like?

Looks like custom pink versions of Wallacavage signature octopus chandeliers were out in full force during the event. Take a look at more pics after the jump…
