An exhibition of graphic work by Wes Jones, Eric Kahn and Gary Paige was paired with texts by three local critics, including Wim de Wit, Curator of Architectural Collections at the Getty Center, author and architect Joe Degan Day, and architectural theorist Dora Epstein Jones.
Other Works refers to necessary, yet often a-typical modes of creative work that architects engage in to work and mine the blurred territory between figuration, abstraction and color.
Kahn’s work, a series of mixed media diptych’s are polychromatic and explore techniques of sewing, oil paint and gold leaf. The extraction of themes from the world (the exotic, the foreign, the other, the yet to be named, the sublime) are often domesticated through the ‘Architect’s Sketchbook.’ Kahn’s work builds a conceptual trap, set to capture the wild, the forgotten and the undomesticated.
