In The Trees: Twin Peaks 20th Anniversary Art Exhibition

I love Twin Peaks. I also love art, pie, and Clifton’s Cafeteria. So you can imagine the immeasurable magnitude of my excitement when all of these things collided last weekend at “In The Trees,” an art exhibition celebrating the 20th anniversary of David Lynch’s masterpiece.

Nowhere else on earth could have been more appropriate to host such an event than downtown L.A.’s world-famous surreal woodland forest-themed cafeteria, Clifton’s. Supplementing the already-perfect surroundings, they gave us free pie! And donuts! A red-curtained Black Lodge filled with David Lynch art pieces! Grace Zabriskie decoupage! I’m hyperventilating, simply reminiscing about the glory of this event. Take a look at some pictures from the opening, below.

    Ah… we tried to go, we came into eat and there were tons of people checking out the art. By the time we got done eating they had roped off the area and were packing up saying they were done, despite people still wandering around checking out the art. It was 3:07pm and the postcard I had listed dates but no effeminate times. Obviously the person who organized this needs to learn to state his times on his next art show. The pictures made it look cool though.
