I am thrilled to have been commissioned to create

I am thrilled to have been commissioned to create some photos by my friends/colleagues artists Adam Scott & Julie Whaley of the Richard Neutra - Constance Perkins house that they had been renting. This historic landmark was built in 1955 in Pasadena for the “Professor of Poppy Peak” who was a friend of Neutra and taught Art History at Occidental. This house has been photographed a few times in its history and I’m proud to carry on that tradition as it is a truly amazing little wonder. The reflected light off the glass in the fading daylight is spectacular to say the least.
The coffee table (original) has the book “The Dream Come True” open to the image of the house and I shot the same angle with a wider lens. I also shot another image from that book at its angle as well.... so I did not own that book (owner of the house does) but this is very trippy: 4 days after I shot these images... a friend of mine was donating boxes of books to me and my campus... and that book (plus a 2nd copy) was in the collection of over 75 books... ummmm what are the odds?!?

Durden and Ray presents We Are Here / Here We Are, a Los Angeles County-wide exhibition of nearly 100 artists that explores our innate desire for connectivity through sensation. Due to the constraints of the COVID-19 lockdown, the artists in this exhibition have chosen public spaces to display their work — from Santa Monica to the East Side and from the San Fernando Valley to Long Beach

We are here

While the world turns inward more than any other point in our lifetimes, we are paradoxically more connected with each other than ever through the use of social media, digital technology, video conferencing, and telecommunication. But as the streets remain empty, the restaurants and coffee shops remain closed, and the houses of social engagement remain shuttered, we are rediscovering “real life” through our homes, our neighborhoods and ourselves. As the digital world feeds our need to connect through sight and sound, we are experiencing a severe disconnect from the other sensory functions of touch, taste, and smell, yearning for experiences that happen through tactility, sensation, randomness, and place, which are currently only possible in real life

Here we are

The artists in the exhibition have chosen unorthodox alternatives to a traditional gallery setting, using a wide variety of media interventions in neighborhood alleyways, yards, trees, bushes, on rocks, fences, telephone poles, and other publicly accessible areas, while honoring social distancing mandates

To experience the exhibition: Go to the website and find Durden and Ray’s personalized Google Map
