SYMPATHETIC SEEING
Esther McCoy and the Heart of American Modernist.
Architecture and Design
28.9.2011–29.1.2012
Schindler House
This is the first exhibition to highlight the extraordinary range and importance of McCoy’s work. The show and the accompanying fully-illustrated catalog survey McCoy’s Los Angeles activities, including her activist journalism in the 1930s focusing on Los Angeles slum clearances; her inside view of the day-to-day workings of architect Rudolph M. Schindler’s studio; her work with popular and architectural press and the rise of innovative domestic architecture; her campaign to save Irving Gill’s 1916 Dodge House; and her always incisive stories that deliver an irresistibly compelling, first-hand view of American modernism.

A selection of videotaped lectures by and discussions with architects and artists is the raw material for this exhibition. Pulling from a pool of over 500 lectures held at SCI-Arc since its inception, guest curators Anthony Fontenot, Marcelyn Gow, Roger Sherman, and Paulette Singley will each choose a set of videotapes for public viewing. Each will have one room of the house to make a historical, philosophical, pedagogical, social, political or aesthetic argument.

Round Two
Oct – Dec 2012
Schindler House
Schindler Lab is a regularly-occurring exhibition that pairs a local artist and architect to develop installations highlighting Schindler's domestic experiment at the Kings Road House and exploring the thought processes that brought it into being. Projects may be collaborative or in tandem. The project is a way for qualified artists and architects to offer alternate views and discussion of Schindler's logics and methods. For Round Two, the MAK Center will expand the curatorial process to include a broader and more intensive search for prospective participants, and share salient aspects of the process and conversations with a broader group of discussants.
