The UNESCO Heritage Site, the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Hollyhock House, is presenting its first-ever artist intervention from February 15—May 27. An installation of the artists Louise Bonnet and Adam Silverman titled “Entanglements” (the couple’s first formal collaboration), it offers a dialogue between a selection of new works and the iconic architectural site, which was built in 1921. Organized by the house’s curator, Abbey Chamberlain Brach, visitors at the magnificent architectural structure will find its unique interiors activated with Silverman’s ceramic objects and Bonnet’s abstract, distorted portraiture, now filling the spaces that were once filled with works from the renowned collection of Aline Barnsdall.
“We were both drawn to Los Angeles for its spirit of openness and possibility, as well as for its landscape, climate, and natural light, some of the same things that drew Aline Barnsdall and Frank Lloyd Wright to the city,” said Bonnet and Silverman. “Hollyhock House has long been a source of inspiration for the two of us and we are moved as much by the story of how the house came to be, as we are by its architecture. This installation is an expression of an ongoing conversation between the two of us, the house, and the two people who realized it.”
