Artists X Architects I
match 11 artists with 11 architects
have them select one piece from each others work

The affinity between the disciplines of art and architecture dates back through millennia. In Artists X Architects, writer Tibby Rothman pairs eleven artists and architects, both emerging and established , as a way to create a unique visual dialogue between the two.

During an exchange of studio visits, artists and architects each selected a single work from one another to be exhibited side-by-side.

Rather than “finished pieces,” a completed painting and a photograph of a finished structure, Rothman asked for glimpses of an individual’s process: a sketch, a study, a small piece, a rendering, a material study or a similar piece. Stripped of art and architecture’s divergent vocabulary, the connections or complements between the pair are revealed.

Rothman saw the eleven matches as making interesting combinations visually, conceptually, and, in some matches, in their personalities. The show is two shows: the pieces exhibited and the studio visits that led to them but that will not be seen.

Architects and artists hijacked studio visits into lunches, dinners or meetings held over a series of weeks. In some cases, ideas for future collaborations began and will be explored in Artists X Architects II.

Tibby Rothman has traversed the worlds of art and architecture since founding the now defunct Venice-Paper in 2001. A writer, journalist and creative strategist, she is particularly respected for her interviews with prominent Los Angeles artists and architects. This show continues her work revealing inter-disciplinary connections.Rothman is a contributing writer for the LA Weekly and The Architect’s Newspaper.

The exhibition is sponsored by The Architect’s Newspaper, Joe’s and V-SCAPE.
