Follow me on:

Home and food are the core building blocks of life. On Saturday, from 12:00-6 p.m. the Mak Center for Art and Architecture (at the Schindler House in W. Hollywood) will present a free day, focused on both of these basic themes.

The activities launch at noon. First up on the day's agenda is a graphic workshop (with community nutrition advocacy group Project Food/LA) in preparation for the Edible Endeavors Convention. Participants will get the chance to lend their creative hands, fashioning 'foodie flyers, posters and banners.'

At 1 p.m. visitors will get a walk-through of the Otto Neurath/Gypsy Urbanism exhibit with guest curator and architectural critic and theorist Nader Vossoghian.

A panel discussion focusing on exhibition strategies will be moderated by MAK Center director Kimberli Meyer at 2:30 p.m. Panelists include designers, historians, artists and architects.

Finally, the day's events will culminate at 3:30 p.m. with the Edible Endeavors Convention featuring rapid-fire presentations on food issues in LA. The centerpiece event is being billed as a combo political convention, lecture, panel discussion and rally.
