. . "Dave Muller describes the 'Three Day Weekend' as an 'artist-run, nomadic project' that can occur in various types of settings, including galleries and even a freight elevator (as at the Frankfurt Art Fair in 2000). These events are collaborative endeavors, as Muller works with each artist to choose work for the show."
"Muller, who studied at Cal Arts, made his on-campus studio available to other students for exhibitions of their work. After graduation he continued this practice at his loft in downtown Los Angeles with the first Three Day Weekend in 1994. He invited artist friends to exhibit in his studio, providing a space, opening party, and refreshments. While traveling as an assistant to artist Mike Kelly, Muller began organizing Three Day Weekends in other cities, often carrying the artwork himself on the airplanes. He has since organized approximately 30 such events in cities such as London, Tokyo, Athens, and San Francisco, exhibiting works by Los Angeles artists and local artists whose work he encounters during studio visits in each city.
