UCLA architecture and urban design professor Sylvia Lavin curated “The New Creativity: Man and Machines,” an exhibition at the MAK Center for Art and Architecture at the historic Schindler House in West Hollywood. On view through Aug. 16, the exhibition examines creative practices in relation to the social and technical complexes that support and constrain them.
Lavin is an internationally known critic, historian, and curator whose work explores the limits of architecture across a wide spectrum of historical periods. Her contributions to the fields of art and architecture have been recognized by the Graham Foundation, the American Academy of Arts and Letters and the Getty Research Institute.
She previously served as the curator for “Everything Loose Will Land,” a large-scale exhibition that showcased the intersections between art and architecture in Los Angeles during the 1970s, and “Creative Spaces,” an exhibition that explored the relationship between architecture and the radical redefinitions of creativity that have resulted on account of technological advancements.
“The New Creativity: Man and Machines” is accompanied every Friday, 4-6 p.m., by dance performances choreographed by professor Victoria Marks of UCLA’s Department of World Arts and Cultures. Find more information at the MAK Center website.
