Miller House and Garden
Miller House and Garden
A classic of modern horticulture, unsurpassed in the United States... -- The Magazine Antiques The IMA has acquired the landmark Miller House and Garden in Columbus, Indiana. One of the countrys most highly regarded examples of mid-century Modernist residences, the Miller House was designed by Eero Saarinen, with interiors by Alexander Girard, and landscape design by Daniel Urban Kiley. Members of the Miller family have donated the house and gardens with many of its original furnishings to the Museum. The Miller family and the Irwin-Sweeney-Miller Foundation have also made a $5 million lead gift toward an $8 million operating endowment for the house and surrounding grounds. The IMA is raising $3 million for the remainder of the endowment and $2 million for the 18-month renovation of the house, which will entail a careful restoration of many of the original period details. Once the renovation is completed, the IMA will work with the Columbus Area Visitors Center to offer public access to the house and gardens. Designated as a National Historic Landmark in 2000, the house expands upon an architectural tradition developed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe—epitomizing the international Modernist aesthetic—with an open and flowing layout, flat roof and vast stone and glass walls. The IMA plans to open Miller House and Garden in 2012.

This episode of Artbound, Steel Modern explores the architectural past and present in Southern California. The episode features Danny Heller's paintings of mid-century modern architecture in Palm Springs, the superadobe construction techniques of Cal-Earth whose experimental designs are challenging the ubiquitous cookie-cutter suburban communities in the urbanized southwestern Mojave Desert, and Jackrabbit Homesteads and the cultural legacy of the Small Tract Act in Southern California's Morongo Basin. We then visit the iconic pre-fabricated modular Steel Development houses by architects Wexler & Harrison in Palm Springs and head to Watts to see the preservation efforts to maintain the historic Watts Towers built by Simon Rodia. The episode wraps up with a musical performance by multi-Grammy award winning producer Daniel Lanois.

Mid-Century Modern Home Tour Features Nine Architectural Gems of Long Beach
Photos by Asia Morris. Marina Tower Model Apartment, Killingsworth, Brady & Smith, 1959.
On Saturday, the University Art Museum (UAM) at Cal State Long Beach (CSULB) showcased nine mid-20th century modern architectural gems in Long Beach, featuring the work of architects Hugh Davies, Edward Killingsworth, Cliff May, Richard Neutra and more.
It was a nine-stop tour organized by the UAM to raise funds in support of its upcoming exhibition, Frank Bros.: The Store That Modernized Modern, on view Saturday, January 28, 2017 through Sunday, April 16.
The exhibition celebrates the legacy of Long Beach’s once-iconic modern furniture retailer Frank Bros. Furniture, which was, at the time, “the primary US source for the most coveted mid-century design at the height of the modernist era,” known for selling Alvar Aalto, Charles and Ray Eames, Van Keppel Green, Bruno Mathsson, Paul McCobb and Knoll products among others, according to the museum

“[He believed] that everybody deserved good design,” Ron’s daughter, Marni Good, told the Post, looking back at how her father catered to customers who could afford, say, an original Eames and also those who couldn’t.
“Many customers chose the original if they could afford it, but Frank was happy if someone on a schoolteacher’s salary, for instance, chose the less expensive knock-off,” read the Los Angeles Times’ obituary of the forward-thinking local.

GISELA COLON : NEW SCULPTURE : 2018
A new Film by Eric Minh Swenson
Diane Rosenstein is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of new sculpture by Los Angeles-based artist Gisela Colon. This exhibition – the artist’s second with the gallery – will present two large-scale Parabolic Monoliths, an evolving series of blow-molded acrylic Pods, and a new freestanding Light Slab. Gisela Colon’s sculpture is, in her words, “a pursuit of the infinite sky,” of the intangible through the material. It offers an interaction between the viewer and variable ambient light and is activated by changing environmental conditions and the viewer’s perceptual experience.
The artist, who was raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, identifies an early influence of Venezuelan artists Jésus Rafael Soto and Carlos Cruz-Diez. While she first exhibited abstract paintings, Colon says that the writings of Donald Judd and Robert Irwin increased her interest in issues of visual perception and materiality, and led her to make sculpture. She developed a unique fabrication method of blow-molding and layering acrylics, producing wall-mounted sculptures that emanate light and color. Although her work is informed by the ideals and practices of the California Light and Space movement, the results are futuristic and transformative.
This exhibition centers on a dramatic installation of two large-scale Parabolic Monoliths (one is 15 feet, the other is 12 feet) that Colon sculpted in iridescent carbon fiber using aerospace technology. In contrast to the acrylic Pods, these majestic volumes are smooth surfaced and they shine, reflecting all light sources in the environment. The Parabolic Monoliths have no right angles or edges, eluding the dominant geometry of hard edge Minimalist boxes. Colon explains that “The Monoliths’ appearance is high-tech, space-age, and futuristic, yet at their core they are also visceral, primitive, reminiscent of ancient cultural objects imbued with sacredness and a higher purpose, such as totems, Stonehenge, and pyramids.”
The artist will also present a major series of her biomorphic wall-work – the acrylic Pods. She will show new shapes, including Oblates and Spheroids, as well as a tall and narrow Elongated Rectanguloid that measures nine and one half feet. This series has evolved significantly from the first forms she showed in 2012. The artist has refined the forms tending towards symmetry and subtlety in palette and effect. The imbued metallics, blacks and blues highlight the varieties of perceptual experience so the viewer has unfettered access to a broader range of reflected prismatic colors. She will also show a Light Slab fabricated in a combination of acrylic and polished stainless steel that hovers in the boundary between painting and sculpture. The work contrasts the soft refractive glow of light through acrylic panels with the clear-mirrored reflections from the polished steel.
Many of the artist’s formal concerns challenge Minimalism and the Light and Space movement. Colon states, “Minimalism has historically involved reductive forms that appear life-less, strictly material, inert, industrial and are devoid of organic qualities. The vocabulary of forms that I have developed (Pods, Slabs, Monoliths), all involve qualities that appear to embody some kind of energy that can relate to life-like forms. They appear to contain life in an abstract way. They combine the industrial with the organic, and a confluence of contrasting aspects.”
GISELA COLON’s (Canada, b. 1966) sculpture is in the permanent collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), Los Angeles, CA; the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD), San Diego, CA; The Palm Springs Art Museum, Palm Springs, CA; and the Grand Rapids Museum of Art (GRAM), Grand Rapids, MI, among others. Colon has a solo exhibition atthe San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts, San Angelo, Texas and was included in California Dreaming: Contemporary Art From The Weisman Art Foundation, Frederick R. Weisman Museum of Art, Malibu, CA (2017); and Selections from The Permanent Collection,” Laguna Art Museum, Laguna Beach, CA (2017). The artist lives and works in Los Angeles.
