AWAC launches “SPACE,” a series of L.A. artist visits, with Kristin Posehn’s open studio + a Posehn-curated tabletop exhibit of works by Alice Könitz, Rita McBride, Scott Benzel, and Tanya Brodsky

Annie Wharton launches SPACE, a curated array of architecture- and design-adjacent events with LA artists including Laddie John Dill, Krysten Cunningham, Kim Schoenstadt and Christian Sampson. Kicking off the series of multi-faceted artists is Kristin Posehn. The East Hollywood open studio event will feature a 9 x 8 foot architectural sculpture made from 1000 pieces of individually cut mirror woven into a kind of lace, titled Ghost Pearls. In parallel, Kristin has curated a popup tabletop exhibition of works by Alice Könitz, Rita McBride, Scott Benzel, and Tanya Brodsky. Entitled Epiphenomena, each of these small-scale objects give rise to second-order phenomena, such as reflectivity, ghost images, and other experiential properties. Meet the artists and enjoy a beverage with us on June 10, 2023.

Kristin Posehn event details:
Saturday, June 10, 2-6pm (Annie will be onsite from 2:30-5:30)
