L.A. Forum, Hennessey + Ingalls and Birkhäuser Verlag host a conversation and celebration of Clocks and Clouds: The Architecture of Escher GuneWardena, a newly-released publication of Escher GuneWardena’s timeless built works and their boundary-blurring exploration of art, craft and architecture. The event will include a discussion with the firm’s founders Frank Escher and Ravi GuneWardena, the publication’s editor Lillian Pfaff and graphic designer Jessica Fleischmann, as well as with curator and archivist Jocelyn Gibbs from the Art, Design & Architecture Museum at UC Santa Barbara, where Escher GuneWardena’s eponymous mid-career survey exhibition is on view now through August 20th.

The conversation will be led by moderator Orhan Ayyuce, Archinect Senior Editor and Professor at East L.A. College.
