Janna Ireland: Even by Proxy
January 16 - April 25
January 16, 2025 – Extended through April 25, 2026
Hollyhock House, 4800 Hollywood Boulevard Los Angeles, CA 90027
Commissioned on the occasion of Hollyhock House’s centennial, Janna Ireland: Even by Proxy presents photographs by the artist that introduce new perspectives on Los Angeles’s only World Heritage site. Ireland’s photographs privilege the quiet, subtle details of Hollyhock House and make visible the care and conservation that sustain the site over time.
The title of the exhibition comes from Frank Lloyd Wright’s autobiography, in which he describes the process of realizing Hollyhock House. For Ireland, Wright’s phrase “even by proxy” points to the fraught relationship between client and architect in building the house as well as the ongoing project of preservation.
Even by Proxy is presented in partnership with Project Restore and the Julius Shulman Institute at Woodbury University.
