Cayetano Ferrer has preserved fragments of LACMA's William Pereira-designed facades and will employ them in a newly approved park near West Hollywood's Pacific Design Center.
On Saturday, Ferrer will be exhibiting the fragments in a one-day show in Pasadena, organized in collaboration with his gallery,
Concrete columns that once were part of LACMA’s Ahmanson Building will go on display in a one-day show in Pasadena on Saturday. But the budget was quite generous, so my idea was to take these light poles and columns [from the bridge] and embed these and other objects into niches along the building’s façade. It was really about a confrontation with architecture — an intervention into the structure of the building, to use it as a display device.No. I contacted the demolition team and got into pretty developed discussions with city engineers. That’s what made it feel possible to do something like this.
There is a subtle humor to it. It’s playing with all of those heated debates about how valuable this architecture is or not. That doesn’t matter to me. It’s important to me that we all know what it is.From the photographs you took during demolition, it’s clear that you didn’t just wade into the rubble for a few pieces. The removals look surgical.
It’s this relationship to archeology, the site as an archeological site. It’s kind of playing through the story of the site in a way: the relationship these have to bones that have been dug up, the extraction of resources, the larger story of colonization. The infrastructure of the encyclopedic museum is built on the grand tour of the 1800s and literally extracting. That process is how these institutions were developed as a cultural form.
