PROJECT DESCRIPTION

"Entanglements: Louise Bonnet and Adam Silverman at Hollyhock House" weaves together documentation of new works by Louise Bonnet and Adam Silverman with conversations by artists, architects, chefs, and friends whose work and lives are entangled in Los Angeles. Made in response to and installed at Frank Lloyd Wright’s Hollyhock House, Bonnet’s paintings and drawing and Silverman’s ceramics engage the house’s hundred-year history as a platform for artists and experimentation. The centerpiece of an arts park, Hollyhock House was only partially realized by Wright and completed by others, and has served as a home, an arts center, a social club, and a house museum. The exhibition foregrounds the many entanglements of place, broadening perspectives on this California house and its layered history. By placing conversations and reflections in dialogue with photo documentation by Joshua White, the book is a meditation on being intertwined.

The Swiss-binding format where the book moves between portrait and landscape orientation reflects and highlights Frank Lloyd Wright's compression and expansion motifs. The dialogues accompanying the images are taken from the transcripts of conversations between entangled partners walking around the house, and were edited and typeset alongside the images to feel like a conversation and further entanglement with the house, other interlocutors, and the page.
