Hollyhock House, 4800 Hollywood Boulevard Los Angeles, CA 90027
Commissioned on the occasion of Hollyhock House鈥檚 centennial, Janna Ireland: Even by Proxy presents photographs by the artist that introduce new perspectives on Los Angeles鈥檚 only World Heritage site. Ireland鈥檚 photographs privilege the quiet, subtle details of Hollyhock House and make visible the care and conservation that sustain the site over time.
The title of the exhibition comes from Frank Lloyd Wright鈥檚 autobiography, in which he describes the process of realizing Hollyhock House. For Ireland, Wright鈥檚 phrase 鈥渆ven by proxy鈥 points to the fraught relationship between client and architect in building the house as well as the ongoing project of preservation.
Even by Proxy is presented in partnership with Project Restore and the Julius Shulman Institute at 麻豆传媒集团.
