MAK Center Welcomes 23rd Group of ResidentsTwice yearly, the MAK Center for Art & Architecture welcomes international artists and architects to Los Angeles for six-month live/work residencies.
Based at the R.M. Schindler designed Mackey Apartments, MAK Center Residents create projects that engage Los Angeles as material for their work.
The residencies culminate with a Final Projects exhibition, which will be presented at the Schindler House March 9-11, 2007.
Group XXIII includes artist Nine Budde, architects Alexander Dworschak and Anke Freimund, artist Julien Diehn and architects Matias del Campo and Sandra Manninger.
Artist Julien Diehn was born in Berlin, Germany and now lives and works in Vienna, Austria.
Inspired by a quote from Frank Stella that compares the effect art can have on a viewer to that of a home-run hit out of the park, Diehn intends to research these rare baseball moments.
He plans to visit baseball parks and clubs in the L.A. region, interview players, staff and amateurs, and utilize local libraries and archives.
He will develop his findings into a final installation project.
Referencing Schindler's quest to develop an architecture that both embodies and incorporates nature, Berlin-based artist Nine Budde plans to build a clay miniature of the Mackey Apartments.
