Materials & Applications is an open-air, outdoor exhibition space dedicated to advancing new and underused ideas in art, architecture, and design. Its mission is to provoke new work through exhibitions and public programming, in the form of open calls, temporary architectures, curated performances, and happenings.

Funding will support Privacies Infrastructure, an exhibition and installation that explores the physical, social, and embodied structures of privacy and privatization in the residential landscape of east Los Angeles (Silver Lake and Echo Park). Four artists and designers (Tanya Brodsky, the Beslers, Fiona Connor and Gwyneth Shanks) will observe, respond, and activate through publication, performance, programming, and public architecture.  The project is slated for July 20 through September 30, 2018.
