Installation at the Neutra VDL Studio and Residences, Los Angeles
Supported by a Graham Foundation Individual Grant
July 13 - September 7, 2013
Inverting Neutra is an installation by Bryony Roberts at Richard and Dion Neutra’s VDL Studio and Residences in Los Angeles that offers spatial inversion as a strategy for activating historic architecture. The VDL House is known for its close interlocking of interior and exterior space, in which void spaces penetrate the house from the street up to the roof terrace. The project inverts the spatial logic of the building by filling the void spaces with hanging blue cords, manifesting a latent spatial figure that weaves through the house. This inversion both celebrates and subverts the existing architecture, offering an alternative to the static preservation of modernism and a strategy for creating responsive form
