Exhibitions MAK Center for Art and Architecture, Los Angeles 2022

Mackey Apartments and Garage Top, 28 January – 6 March 2022

Curator: Aurora Tang

INVERTED DOME presents new work by Los Angeles-based artist Kristin Posehn. The central work is a large-format 3D sculpture of the United States Capitol dome, which is turned upside down, stripped, and reconfigured. With drawings and texts, the artist reformulates and reinterprets the dome and in doing so also the conceptual and political structures of the United States Capitol.
