Of this body of work, Robert Stone explains: “These projects are proposals of new objects that work within the wider culture to turn it toward a new relationship between people and object…It is really a new kind of public art that respects the public and engages it on its own aesthetic terms, and in the process turns the commodity fetish…toward more socially-connected situations.” A licensed architect, Stone designed the exhibition space for “Beyond Geometry” at the LA County Museum of Art, as well as custom furniture for the smoking patio at The Echo nightclub in Los Angeles. He has also participated in a group exhibition at the Smithsonian-Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum as well as “Snapshot: New Art from Los Angeles” at the UCLA Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. Stone earned both his MA and BA from the University of California, Berkeley
