The images above are of Terence Gower’s El Muro Rojo (Barragán), 2005, from the group exhibition Color Effects at Galerie Lelong in NYC last year.

From the artist’s website about the work-

A large black and white photograph of the roof patio of the Casa Barragán is mounted on an enormous red wall. The photograph is a copy of Armando Salas Portugal’s famous 1953 photograph (this time commissioned from architectural photographer Jorge del Olmo), and shows a corner of Luis Barragán’s roof patio with its famous coloured walls reduced to grey tones. The work separates a tonal and planar understanding of the architecture from the “emotional” encounter with colour that Barragán aspired to.

From his statement about his practice-

I work on a number of bodies of work at once, each developed over several years. In the past decade my work has focused on a critical re-reading of the modern movement and its utopian bent. A desire to reexamine the notion of progress—a term corrupted by the excesses of technological modernism—has fueled my research on the post-war period and has led to a search for models from the past that might still be relevant today.

Below is the Armando Salas Portugal color photo referenced by the Gower work.

Armando Salas Portugal is known for his photographs of the Mexican countryside and the architecture of the city. He captured the work of several famous architects, in addition to Luis Barragán’s projects.

From Wikipedia about the influence of modernism on Barragán and his concept of “emotional architecture“-

Barragán visited Le Corbusier and became influenced by European modernism. The buildings he produced in the years after his return to Mexico show the typical clean lines of the Modernist movement. Nonetheless, according to Andrés Casillas (who worked with Barragán), he eventually became entirely convinced that the house should not be “a machine for living.” Opposed to functionalism, Barragán strove for an “emotional architecture” claiming that “any work of architecture which does not express serenity is a mistake.” Barragán used raw materials such as stone or wood. He combined them with an original and dramatic use of light, both natural and artificial; his preference for hidden light sources gives his interiors a particularly subtle and lyrical atmosphere.

Press Release:

Galerie Buchholz Cologne presents FIREARMS, an exhibition of the last completed artwork by the American artist Lutz Bacher (1943 -2019). FIREARMSis a single work comprised of 58 framed pigment prints,each depicting a different model of gun taken from pages of a manual on gun repair and maintenance. Like a typology of arms, the prints show a direct profile portrait of each gun, together with its name, country of origin, manufacturer, cartridge size, magazine capacity, overall length, height, barrel length, and weight. A paragraph of text describes each gun’s design origin, key features, and history of use. Many guns were developed for the armies and police forces active in and around the First and Second World Wars; certain models are older and historical, others are descendants that evolved from earlier designs, and some are new, state-of-the-art models. They come from around the world -Italy, Great Britain, Austria, Japan, Switzerland, various parts of the Unites States, etc. Hung alphabetically by model name in a line-up around the gallery, the 58 plates reveal the conditions of these violent objects from the 20thCentury, explaining in direct, matter-of-fact language the technology, craftsmanship, and use of these weapons in the contexts of warfare, police forces, sporting, self-defense, and as goods designed and proffered for international trade and personal collection.

Lutz Bacher completed the work and its installation plan for this exhibition on May 11, 2019, one day before her unexpected death from a heart attack. Her five decades of work have been defined by a vast, fearless exploration of subjects through a wild range of mediums and strategies, but FIREARMS returns to one of Lutz Bacher’s most essential and enduring techniques of appropriating found image-and-text pairings to animate their profound psychological and political undercurrents. Some of her best-known works utilize this image/text strategy -the “Jokes”(1987-88) which pair images of politicians and celebrities with uncanny and perplexing jokes; the “Playboys”(1991-93) which appropriate Antonio Vargas illustrations of pin-up girls saying coy, poignant, double-edged phrases; and “Sex with Strangers”(1986) which reproduces explicit pornographic images paired with captions that facetiously attempt to shield or explain the images as cautionary, moralistic warnings. In FIREARMS, Bacher presents weapons partly as scientific types defined by their mechanical design and engineering. But they also operate as artifacts from specific political histories as well phallic symbols and fetish objects. That the United States is in an extended period of emergency stemming from gun violence with the government’s persistent antipathy to gun control was not lost on the artist.

Lutz Bacher was a committed reader of spy novels, giving them particular attention in these last years of the Trump era. A selection of spy novels from her personal library will be on display in the window of Antiquariat Buchholz.

This is the sixth solo exhibition by Lutz Bacher at Galerie Buchholz. In early September, the CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Art in San Francisco will open a show of new work by Vincent Fecteau which will feature key pieces by Lutz Bacher, his long-time friend and collaborator. Her work will be included in the exhibition “Emissaries for Things Abandoned by Gods”curated by Elena Filipovic at the Casa Luis Barragan in Mexico City, opening in late September. In October, the University of California Irvine will present a solo show by Lutz Bacher titled “Blue Wave”at the University Art Gallery, organized by the artist Monica Majoli and curator Allyson Unzicker and developed together with the artist. In 2018, Lutz Bacher presented three institutional solo exhibitions: “The Silence of the Sea” was the inaugural show at the newly opened Lafayette Anticipations in Paris; she presented “The Long March”at 80WSE New York University, NY, and most recently K21 in Düsseldorf mounted her large-scale exhibition titled “What’s Love Got To Do With It”. Previous solo exhibitions by Lutz Bacher have been held at Yale Union, Portland; 356 Mission Road, Los Angeles; Secession, Vienna; Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen; Kunsthalle Zurich; ICA London; Portikus, FrankfurtamMain; Kunstverein Munich; and MOMA/P.S.1, New York, among others. She participated in recent group exhibition including “Time Kills –Time-based art from the Julia Stoschek Collection”, Sesc Avenida Paulista, Sao Paolo; “Everything is Connected: Art and Conspiracy”, Met Breuer, New York; “The Conditions of Being Art: Pat Hearn Gallery & American Fine Arts, co (1983-2004)”at Bard CCS and the Hessel Museum of Art, Annandale-On-Hudson; “Other Mechanisms”, Secession, Vienna; “Stories of Almost Everyone”, Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; “Mechanisms, CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Art, San Francisco; “A Slow Succession with Many Interruptions”, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco; “America is Hard to See”, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; “Open Dress”, Museum Abteiberg, Mönchengladbach; “NYC 1993: Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star”, New Museum, New York; the 2012 WhitneyBiennial, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; and “Spies in the House of Art”, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, among others.

Friday Five with Ariel Kaye of Parachute

Unless you’ve been living on a desert island, chances are you’ve heard about modern bedding and bath brand Parachute. The California-based, direct-to-consumer brainchild of Founder and CEO Ariel Kaye has amassed a devoted following since its 2014 launch, which is no surprise given their focus on high quality and brilliant 90-day trial guarantee. Prior to relocating to Venice Beach to start Parachute, Kaye spent 10 years in New York working in brand development and advertising where she led product development, content, digital campaigns, and user experience in consumer goods and luxury realms. Those experiences helped hone her skills and understanding of the consumer’s mindset, intention, and motivation, a perfect trio of knowledge to bring to Parachute. Now, Kaye shares five favorites, including a restaurant, a mantra, and a beneficial daily habit, in this Friday Five.

1. Gjusta Dinner at Gjusta is L.A.’s best kept secret. There are no lines later in the day and it has a neighborhood vibe. I love gathering a small group for dinner on their patio. They offer amazing evening specials and their smoked fish should not be missed.

2. You Belong Here The neon sign is a bespoke piece. I attended Art Basel in 2012 and became obsessed with the neon art displayed there that year. When I got home (I was living in NYC at the time), I located a neon shop and worked with them to design the piece. The message, “You belong here,” has become a mantra for me. I even had the sign recreated to be displayed at my wedding.

3. Midland Shop Midland is an inspiring shop in nearby Culver City. It’s stocked with beautiful women’s clothing, accessories and lifestyle goods – perfect for gifting others (or myself)! It’s important to support nearby businesses, and I admire their thoughtful approach to design.

4. Making My Bed I can’t leave the house without making my bed. It’s proven to make you happier and gives a sense of accomplishment. Most importantly, though, making your bed in the morning and getting between the sheets at night becomes a special ritual to bookend your day.

5. Casa Luis Barragan I visited his home and studio in Mexico City recently. I was incredibly inspired by the colors, gardens and mix of modern and traditional architecture.
