Park, Gahee Park, Aya Takano, Honor Titus, Pilar Zeta "And you can run in the sun/ Having fun with the one that you really love/ Walk in the sand hand in hand/ With the boy that you met on vacation/ And on a warm summer night it’s all right/ When he says, “baby I love you”/ Then boy oh boy you’re enjoying that summer love sensation…" —“Summerlove Sensation,” Bay City Rollers, 1974 Summerlove Sensation is an exhibition of youthful love, lust, and longing, distilled, moistened, and telegraphed in the way only Los Angeles is able. Borrowing its title from the 1974 pop hit by the Bay City Rollers, the exhibition is a dizzying love affair with love itself, featuring pinup girls (Katherina Olschbaur’s Of the Muses, 2025, and Gregor Hildebrandt’s And Again, Rain Falls Gently On Flowers, 2024), suggestive astrological readings (Jean-Michel Othoniel’s Cancer, 2024), an interspecies, floral affair (Isabelle Albuquerque’s to be the wood, to be the water, to be with you, 2025), and a functional telepathic kissing booth (Pilar Zeta’s Telepathic Kiss Portal, 2026). Taken together, the fifteen artists offer a sticky reminder that when the weather is hot and the days are long, there’s nothing better than putting on as little clothing as possible and enjoying that summer love sensation.
