Randi Malkin Steinberger photo mural at LACMA
Common Places features three objects from LACMA’s permanent collection, which transform printed works on paper into one-of-a-kind embroideries: a 17th-century valance, a cigarette silks quilt, and a Boetti Mappa, his most iconic and monumental work. The resulting textiles articulate contemporary aspects of global phenomena and suggest that globalization has deep historical roots that extended into the home and every day life. Included in the exhibit will be a mural print of one of Steinberger’s photographs.
