Subject Studies: Reorientations


A new public program series with the MAK Center. Subject Studies’ inaugural 2022 theme, Reorientations, directs perspectives and questions towards MAK Center’s own institutional habits, routines and practices. With the backdrop of the roof restoration of Schindler House, Reorientations seeks opportunities to reorient our own institution through perspectives of care, repair and transformation.

Co-curated with Rosario Talevi, MAK Center for Art and Architecture, Los Angeles, 2022.
