This Week at LACMA

Historically a site of women’s labor, the kitchen has also been the subject of their design research and cultural critique. Now open at LACMA, The Kitchen and Its Discontents brings two influential kitchens from LACMA’s collection into conversation: Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky’s 1926–30 kitchen for the New Frankfurt social housing program in Germany, and Charlotte Perriand and Le Corbusier’s 1948–50 kitchen for L’Unité d’Habitation in Marseille, France. This exhibition is presented concurrently with Home of the Future, 1925–1985: Designing Domestic Utopias, which traces how the American home of tomorrow was imagined, packaged, and sold—by whom, and for whom.

Also this week, don't miss the return of Visible and Vibrant: LGBTQ+ Artists in LACMA’s Collection for LGBTQ History Month. This series of docent-led tours celebrates LGBTQ+ artists in the permanent collection, exploring how personal experiences shaped artworks on view in the Modern Art Galleries.
