Helmut Lang: What remains behind
Curated by Neville Wakefield
MAK Center for Art and Architecture presents What remains behind by Helmut Lang in the artist's first solo institutional exhibition in Los Angeles at the Schindler House. The historic house designed by fellow Austrian Rudolph Schindler provides the spare, proto-minimalist frame for a series of freestanding sculptures. Neither entirely figurative nor entirely abstract, they bring a fundamentally reductivist approach to material that is deeply impregnated with the burden of history. Sometimes this reads as a confrontation between the body and its past derelictions. At others the current is sexual, an accumulated tension that itself becomes a stand-in for human identity, vulnerability and desire. Always they occupy a liminal space where form is in a continual state of becoming.
**This event is at capacity. Walk-ins are welcome, but entry is not guaranteed.
