Soft Schindler

Curated by Mimi Zeiger
Presented by MAK Center for Art and Architecture
On view at the Schindler House
October 12, 2019–February 16, 2020
Los Angeles

From the curator, Mimi Zeiger:

Soft Schindler participants, through their respective practices and presented works, show the incompleteness of binary ideas in architecture, sculpture, and design-femininity vs. masculinity, inside vs. outside, heavy vs. light, rational vs. emotional-framing such notions outmoded. Each of these practitioners makes non-conforming aesthetics and ideologies manifest in space. Ultimately, Soft Schindler uses the concept of softness to encourage a politics of re-evaluation: If this space/sculpture/material isn’t what was first assumed, what other assumptions need challenging?
