Guillermo Kuitca at Hauser & Wirth, Los Angeles

An exhibition walkthrough of Guillermo Kuitca's recent exhibition at Hauser and Wirth Los Angeles with artist Analia Saban and SCI-Arc Director/CEO Hernan Diaz Alonso. Kuitca's theatrical paintings include layered information from architectural plans and cartographic maps, exploring themes of dislocation. The exhibition debuted two new series that incorporate a combination of abstraction and figuration: 'The Family Idiot' draws from Jean-Paul Sartre's three-volume study of Gustave Flaubert, while the 18-part wall piece 'Missing Pages' evokes the physical process of book printing, specifically the unexpected combinations of images that ensue during pagination. The exhibition also included new Theater pieces that build upon Kuitca's long-standing involvement with the dramatic arts through an idiosyncratic integration of architectural features in two-dimensional space.
