A frequently updated source of artist-centered video and audio from LACMA AV at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Since its inception in 1965, LACMA has been devoted to collecting works of art that span both history and geography—and represent Los Angeles’s uniquely diverse population. Today, the museum features particularly strong collections of Asian, Latin American, European, and American art, as well as a new contemporary museum on its campus, BCAM. With this expanded space for contemporary art, innovative collaborations with artists, and an ongoing transformation project, LACMA is creating a truly modern lens through which to view its rich encyclopedic collection.
"From the Spoon to the City": Objects by Architects from LACMA's Collection presents a cross section of LACMA's twentieth-century design collection, highlighting furniture and objects designed by architects. This recording is taken from a conversation with Greg Lynn and Elena Manferdini, moderated by Frances Anderton at an event titled "From the Spoon to the City": Architects Discuss Design at the Micro and the Macro Scale.
