L.A. Louver presents the debut American exhibition of a new body of work by Los Angeles-based architect and artist Thom Mayne. Investigating the philosophical intersections of impermanence and materiality, Mayne demonstrates how technology – at the frontiers of computer language and object-creation – can reframe and readdress timeless questions at the essence of artmaking.
This exhibition marks an important developmental stage in Mayne’s creative and fine art practice. Having established clear rules for this new medium – including a rectilinear frame, the use of organic and inorganic materials, and a determined, infinitely iterative process – Mayne as artist continues to push against his own parameters without breaking them.
