FLAX, Art by Translation and the MAK Center present Shelter or Playground The House of Dust at the Schindler House. The compelling exhibition springs from The House of Dust, a seminal yet under-recognized late 1960s work by Fluxus artist Alison Knowles. Originally called The Play House, this intermedia piece serves as an entry point into contemporary investigation of the relationships between architecture, technology, and performance. In a text titled Shelter or Playground, Rudolf Schindler described his house as a Playground that grows with its inhabitants and where life will regain its fluidity. Today, the house open its doors to contemporary artists who have been invited to produce site-specific works, responding to both architectures by Schindler and Knowles and translating them into multiple performative forms. For more information, visit: https://flaxfoundation.org/initiative/shelter-or-playground/Curated by Maud Jacquin, Anna Milone and Sbastien Pluot, this group exhibition is the result of a collective research effort initiated by Art by Translation (TALM Angers & cole nationale suprieure darts de Paris-Cergy) with the MAK Center for Art and Architectureand France Los Angeles Exchange (FLAX), in collaboration with the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts).This exhibition will commission new works and performances by Henry Andersen & Bryana Fritz/Slow Reading Club (Australia, USA), Lila Athanasiadou (Netherlands), Jasmin Blasco (France/USA), Dimitri Chamblas (France), Franois Dallegret and Franois Perrin (France), Milka Djordjevich (USA), Rafa Esparza (USA), Daniel Frota (Brazil), Mark Geffriaud (France), Gerard & Kelly (USA), FLAX Artist-in-Residence Aurlie Godard (France), Jeff Guess (France), Simon Leung (USA) and Luke Stoneham (UK), Lucky Dragons (USA).
