For its inaugural exhibition, SIZED brought together a global group of artists, designers, dealers, and collectors to present a site-specific installation inside a converted theater in Los Angeles. Guided by a conceptual glossary developed by Creative Director Alexander May — with terms ranging from “vessel” and “mineral” to “useful” and “sustain” — the exhibition positioned site as medium and object as aura, creating a spatial experience rooted in both material and meaning.

The installation proposed “the stage” as a framework for display. Each work was elevated on industrial steel decks set to a unified height, producing a continuous visual field where objects could be experienced without hierarchy or sequence. Visitors moved freely through the space, navigating a curated landscape that invited open interpretation.

Objects included never-before-seen works and rare items made available for acquisition for the first time, such as a couture sculpture by Sterling Ruby / S.R. STUDIO. LA. CA., performance-worn instruments from Lykke Li, furniture by Luka Sabbat, a Gallic chair by Michèle Lamy for Rick Owens Furniture, hand-crafted garments by No Sesso, and terracotta head vases by Casa Ahorita. The Indigenous-women-led nonprofit CIELO offered its publication Dižà Nó Ole, contributing to the exhibition’s broader cultural dialogue.

Staged within SIZED STUDIO, the exhibition introduced the studio’s curatorial philosophy through form, placement, and collaboration — establishing a foundation for the platform’s future programming.
