Modernism Week
When and where> 16th to 26th February at Palm Springs, CA, US.
Well, let’s start with an eccentric historical journey through the mid-century. Shall we? Modernism Week is an annual 11-day art festival that is held every year in February. This unique art event celebrates the art, design, architecture, fashion, and culture of the mid-century through numerous events, activities, and landscape discussions. On top of that, this year’s art event will feature a keynote presentation from the extraordinarily talented architect Thom Mayne. Even more, the program will also include The Architecture of Suspense: Built World in the Films of Alfred Hitchcock which looks at the buildings as a character in Hitchcock’s best movies. Based on the recent book of the same name, this will allow the audience to rediscover the legendary director as an architect. Sounds fascinating. Doesn’t it?
