Folly - The View from Nowhere - MoCA at Pacific Design Center Los Angeles

Folly—The View from Nowhere, organized by MOCA Curator Philipp Kaiser and Los Angeles–based architects Frank Escher and Ravi GuneWardena, surveys architectural follies from around the world in an installation at MOCA Pacific Design Center, the museum’s West Hollywood venue designed by Cesar Pelli and located on Pacific Design Center’s campus. Offering a comparative overview of these structures—ranging from the Pantheon at Stourhead in Wiltshire, England, and Lucy the Elephant in Margate, N.J., to Pelli’s pavilion at Pacific Design Center—the exhibition revolves around a site-specific folly of Escher GuneWardena’s own design.
