Opening Venue: The Austrian Winery Boom, MODAA Gallery, Los Angeles
Friday night I attended the opening Venue of the exhibition The Austrian Winery Boom which Sandra and myself designed last year. The show was commissioned by the Architekturzentrum Wien, and previously on show at the Austrian Cultural Forum in NYC, before moving on to the MODAA Gallery in Culver City, Los Angeles. The shows opening was pretty crowded by a bunch of architecture afficionados. At the midday opening session I was introduced to Wolfgang Puck, Austria´s representative of Haute Cuisine in Los Angeles and favorite cook to numerous Hollywood celebrities. (No way to escape Hollywood in LA, it seems.) The shows opening was also attended by Dietmar Steiner, the director of the Architekturzentrum Wien (Az W), who repeated his introductory words for the show several times this day. Peter Noever, the director of the MAK in Vienna, also happened to be in LA and dropped by to check out the show. The show was well received and I had to answer many, many times answers on the shows concept and design.
