schindler's mackey open next week
the mackey apartments, designed by schindler and owned by the mak center, will be open to the public next weekend for the final exhibition of the current artists-in-residence program. the mackey is typically open only by appointment (and the penthouse is available for rent for short-term stays, I believe) and is rarely open and free to the public, so I highly recommend stopping by, if you've never been.

Twice yearly, the MAK Center for Art and Architecture hosts visiting Artists and Architects in Residence who spend six months living and working in the R.M. Schindler-designed Mackey Apartments in the mid-Wilshire district. The current residents, Elena Kovylina (Russia), Grupposenza composed of Robert Huebser (Germany), David Emmer (Germany) and Benjamin Haupt (Germany), David Moises (Austria), and Sonia Leimer (Italy), — present the results of their work in LA at the Mackey Apartments. The 21st group of residents projects address the Hollywood dream, Los Angeles real estate, custom car culture and the contemporary architecture of sin (more information below.) The residents will open up their living rooms as exhibition spaces to display the results of their residencies including photographs, drawings, site documentation, sculptures, and video.
