Architectones

Echoing his exhibition at the Palace of Versailles, the artist Xavier Veilhan opens the doors of seven modernist houses from California to Europe.

Between 2012 and 2014, Xavier Veilhan used music, light, and sculpture to activate Richard Neutras VDL Research House in Silver Lake, Pierre Koenigs Case Study House No. 21 in the Hollywood Hills, and buildings designed by Le Corbusier and Mies Van Der Rohe, among others.

The histories and legacies of the architects themselves played a prominent role in these installations, with figural sculptures and die-cut silhouettes of the looming personalities of the architects populating his installations.
