THE L.A. FORUM PRESENTS:
BAUHAUS → LA → NOW
Saturday, September 21, 5:00 – 7:00 pm
WUHO Gallery, 6518 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028
To mark the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Bauhaus, the Los Angeles Forum of Architecture and Urban Design is hosting a panel discussion about the influence of Bauhaus (whether directly or obliquely) on current leading Los Angeles creatives from a number of disciplines. Participants include: Jessica Fleischmann, Andrea Lenardin Madden, Yunhee Min, and Heather Scott Peterson, with discussion moderated by Tim Durfee.
Each panelist will juxtapose two images side-by-side:
One from their own body of work and one produced by Bauhaus members, teachers, graduates, or practitioners. Panelists will be highlighting how the ideas, techniques, or principles embedded in the Bauhaus legacy might be seen as resonating with and informing their own work, as a way of raising issues, finding common themes, and provoking discussion on the current state of creativity in Los Angeles.
The event will align with WUHO’s exhibition BAUHAUS PHOTO, which showcases photography from the Bauhaus Archive and will be concurrently on view at the WUHO Gallery.
