The MAK Center for Art and Architecture is pleased to present Houses in Which I Lived, a presentation with Anna Jermolaewa in the context of the exhibition Garage Exchange: Untitled Energy at the Garage Top Gallery. Jermolaewa will discuss her work and practice, which often utilizes surreal and playful scenarios to draw connections between her personal experience and geopolitical conflict. The conversation will be followed by a dialogue between Jermolaewa and Sophie Friedman-Pappas, reflecting on their work and the connections drawn in their joint exhibition. 

This event is free and open to the public. RSVP here.

ANNA JERMOLAEWA

Anna Jermolaewa (b. 1970, Leningrad) works primarily in the mediums of photography, video, and installation. Her main interest is the analysis of functional structures of society and social systems in everyday life. She continually focuses on the basic conditions of human existence and the nature of man, capturing the relationship between the individual and the masses, freedom and restriction, power and powerlessness. Jermolaewa graduated from the University of Vienna in 1998, and the Vienna Art Academy in 2002. Since 2019, she has been a Professor for Experimental Art at University of Art and Design Linz, Austria. Anna Jermolaewa represented Austria at Biennale Arte 2024, and has had solo exhibitions throughout the country. Her works are part of various collections including the Stedelijk Museum, Friedrich Christian Flick Collection, Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, MUMOK—Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien, Museum Startgalerie Artothek, Tyrolean State Museum, and the Vehbi Koc Foundation.

SOPHIE FRIEDMAN-PAPPAS

Sophie Friedman-Pappas (b. 1995, New York, NY) divides her time between New York and Los Angeles sharing endless stories of utilitarian renovations, waste valorization, and the accidental undermining of these projects by their own patrons and designers. Friedman-Pappas has held solo and two-person exhibitions at MIT List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge, MA; Meredith Rosen Gallery, New York, NY; in lieu, Los Angeles, CA; and Alyssa Davis Gallery (organized by Octagon) and has participated in group exhibitions at Paul Soto, New York; François Ghebaly, Los Angeles; Soft Opening, London, among others.

 
 

This exhibition is made possible with support from the Austrian Consulate General, Los Angeles.
