Luisa Lambri: Being There - A New Exhibition at the Hammer |
|
|
|
Wednesday, 24 February 2010 07:34 |
|
 What: Luisa Lambri: Being There
When: February 27, 2010 – June 13, 2010
Where: Hammer Museum 10899 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA
Luisa Lambri travels the world photographing architectural interiors. Often spending extended periods of time investigating notable Modernist buildings, her photographs not only capture the physical topology of these structures but elaborate on the profound psychological and emotional responses they elicit from their inhabitants. Rather than take a distanced view of an overall structure, Lambri attends to architectural details—windows, cabinets, closets— necessities that embody the questions of form and function that engulf any endeavor of design.
