The MAK Center for Art and Architecture presents “Final Projects: Group L,” an exhibit on display from Thursday, March 17, through Sunday, March 20, at the Mackey Apartments Garage Top on Cochran Avenue.
The exhibit featured works by Manuel Gorkiewicz, Emilija Skarnulyte, Julia Obleitner and Helvijs Savickis. It marks the culmination of the 50th Artists and Architects-in-Residence Program at the Mackey Apartments.
Gorkiewicz’s final project is the film “Gregarious Beasts,” which explores the environmental planning and architectural history of the Beverly Hills Civic Center, which was planned by Charles W. Moore as a typical example of American postmodern architecture.
For final projects, Skarnulyte will present films and immersive installations exploring time and invisible structures, from the cosmic and geologic to the ecological and political.
Obleitner and Savickis’ collaboration started with a combined interest in weather systems, climate and weather modification in Los Angeles and throughout California, where water is limited. Savickis and Obleitner’s video work documents their route following the infrastructural path of the city’s water supply. They also explore weather modification in relation to California’s water supply system and infrastructure in Los Angeles.
The Mackey Apartments are home to the MAK Center’s residency program for visiting artists, architects and students of architecture. Exhibit viewing hours are 4-7 p.m. The Mackey Apartments Garage Top is located at 1137 S. Cochran Ave. For information, visit makcenter.org.
