terra non firma: monday media

Monday, February 27, 2006

marissmas, while fun, got in the way of doing work this weekend, so my to-do list is growing. thus, another quickie today:

the latimes takes a look at pasadena's "aesthetic identity crisis" as it gains buildings by gerhy, mayne, OMA and maltzan.
banksy on melrose. maybe not as exciting as his museum prank, but fun to finally have a little banksy in town.
the latimes also provides a profile of lyn keinholz, the godmother of the LA art scene.

and upcoming events:

the wired speaker series at the central library this wed features cameron sinclair, founder of architecture for humanity and 2006 TED winner, lectures "design like you give a damn." the lecture is full but there are standing room only tickets.
I've already seem mayne lecture twice for free, but if you want to pay $65 for members, $95 for non-members, you can attend the LA forum's benefit to honor mayne at the petersen musuem on april 6th.
and the mak center's artists-in-residence program hosted an open house next weekend at the mackey apartments. as I mentioned before, its a rare opportunity to see a schindler that is normally not open to the public. its free and open to all march 11 and 12 from noon to 6pm.
