In 1995, the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art commissioned artist Mel Chin to find a new arena for modem work. Seeing television as the most public space there is in late 20th-century life, Chin, together with a group of artists called the Gala Committee, began incorporating new pieces of art into the set of leading American soap opera Melrose Place.
