L.A. Louver - Thom Mayen Shaping Accident

L.A. Louver Gallery presents the debut U.S. exhibition of a new body of work by Los Angeles-based architect and artist Thom Mayne. Investigating the philosophical intersections of impermanence and materiality, Mayne demonstrates how technology – at the frontiers of computer language and object-creation – can reframe and readdress timeless questions at the essence of artmaking.
 
This exhibition marks an important developmental stage in Mayne’s creative and fine art practice. Having established clear rules for a new medium – including a rectilinear frame, the use of organic and inorganic materials, and a determined, infinitely iterative process – Mayne as artist continues to push against his own parameters without breaking them.
