Unique in its role as a constellation of historical architectural sites and contemporary exhibition spaces, the MAK Center develops local, national and international projects in art, architecture, and their intersections and tangents. The MAK Center acts as a cultural laboratory, encouraging the development of ideas in art and architecture by engaging the center’s places, spaces and histories. It collaborates frequently with guest curators, artists and architects in its exhibitions and programming.

This grant supports DEMO, an exhibition that reflects on the fate of our architectural landscape and the history it embodies, in the face of economic and ecological forces and the uncompromising effect of the passage of time. Four artists will present the records and results of four different ruinations that will be situated one each in the studios of the MAK Center’s headquarters in the landmark Schindler House in West Hollywood, suggesting that wrecking balls are not final acts. This exhibition will run from March 14 to June 14, 2020.
