How Many Billboards? Art In Stead
December 4, 2009 | Levent OZLER
The MAK Center for Art and Architecture at the Schindler House announced its most ambitious project to date: How Many Billboards? Art In Stead.
This large-scale urban exhibition debuts 23 new works by leading contemporary artists, presented simultaneously on billboards throughout Los Angeles for seven weeks from February 5 through March 26, 2010.
How Many Billboards? Art In Stead is organized by MAK Center Director Kimberli Meyer with co-curators Lisa Henry, Dr.
Nizan Shaked, and Dr. Gloria Sutton, and public art consultant Sara Daleiden.
The exhibition will be accompanied by an overview exhibition and orientation station at the Schindler House, which opens on February 23, as well as a series of public programs and bus tours.
Twenty-three artists working in the vein of California's conceptual art movement have been commissioned to create a new work that critically responds to the medium of the billboard and interprets its role in the urban landscape.
Investigating art as an idea as well as art as a media for critical intervention, the exhibition highlights the interaction of Pop, conceptualism and architecture in Los Angeles since the late 1960s.
