SCI-Arc Spring Show 2018 | Opening on April 28

Curated by Jackilin Hah Bloom and M. Casey Rehm, SCI-Arc’s twelfth annual Spring Show follows the Undergraduate Thesis and features student work from all school programs. The opening reception will take place in conjunction with SCI-Arc's Main Event 14.

Olafur Eliasson: Reality projector | Open now until August 26

For their second artist project, the Marciano Art Foundation invited Olafur Eliasson for his first major exhibition in L.A. in over a decade. Titled “Reality projector” (2018), Eliasson has conceived of a seemingly simple, yet complex installation that uses projected light and the existing architecture of the space to create a dynamic shadow play. The artwork references the space’s former function as a theater as well as the history of filmmaking in the city by turning the entire space into an abstract, three-dimensional film.
