Four informal panels will be presented in a salon-style format that invites the public to participate. These discussions will engage the intersections and differences between art and architecture and mirror the complex relationships between artists and architects, the city of Paris and L.A. DIALOGUES is organized by Francois Perrin, a French architect practicing in Los Angeles. He previously curated the exhibition Yves Klein: Air Architecture at the MAK Center in 2004. Participating artists and architects have been invited based on their continuing cross-disciplinary work. Several of the artists often work in the architectural field, and many of the architects collaborate with artists. DIALOGUES contributors include: Doug Aitken, Berdaguer/Pejus, Barbara Bestor, Claude Collins-Stracensky, Dahlqvist/Hommert, Escher/Gunewardena, Didier Faustino, Yona Friedman, Cyprien Gaillard, Fritz Haeg, Piero Golia, Ibai Hernandorena, Marie Jager, Alice Konitz, Vincent Lamouroux, Won Ju Lim, Tom Marble, Jorge Pardo, Claude Parent, Francois Perrin, Ivette Soler, Linda Taalman, Oscar Tuazon, Xavier Veilhan, Eric Wesley, Pae White and Peter Zellner.
