Join us for our first monthly MeetAT the Marciano Art Foundation. Come mingle with SoCal members and bring colleagues who you’d like to sponsor for membership for no-host beverages and pastries inside Twist Cafe followed by a tour of MAF’s new exhibitions–Donna Huanca: Obsidian Ladder and Anna Uddenberg: Privé–led by Susan Power.
The first woman commissioned to create an exhibition in MAF’s massive Theater Gallery, Berlin-based Bolivian-American artist Donna Huanca (born 1980) has installed a vast multi-sensory environment. Comprising large-format paintings, sculptures, live models (present on Saturdays only), scent and sound, Obsidian Ladder inscribes a femme realm of reconciliation, healing and trust in the central space of the former Scottish Rite Masonic temple, thereby disrupting the exclusively male history of the site.
Exploring similar themes related to gender performance and scripted spaces, Berlin-based Swedish sculptor Anna Uddenberg has created new sculptural work for Privé, her first Los Angeles solo show and first museum exhibition in the United States. Seventeen “pervertables,” a word coined by the artist to describe her carefully crafted forms, which challenge the ingrained social conventions and norms dictated by consumer culture and social media in a resort spa inspired ambiance.
10:00-11:00 am: Socializing at Twist Cafe
11:00-12:00: Tour of exhibitions
Free parking is available in the MAF lot (gated entrance on Lucerne).
