October 17, 2012 – First it was The Art Institute of Chicago, then a gallery in Boston, now an exhibit of Marina City residents and residences is on display at an art gallery on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles. Iker Gil, an architect who lives at Marina City, and Andreas E. G. Larsson, a photographer now living in Los Angeles, worked on Inside Marina City for two years starting in June 2009. The exhibit is on display through October 28 at Woodbury University’s WUHO Gallery. A review published on Wednesday by Domus, an Italian-based magazine about architecture, design, and art, describes it as “a documentation of walls, interiors, and grand ideas.” “This project makes direct eye contact with its subjects,” says Domus, “sharply capturing the monotony of everyday life, even as it takes place in an architectural experiment, a ‘design postcard’ that has somehow – mercifully – escaped wrecking balls or stamps of insignificance.”
Though plans are not definite, Gil says they are working on getting the exhibit displayed elsewhere in the United States.
