Exhibition and Walking Tour | “Isaac Julien: Lina Bo Bardi—A Marvellous Entanglement”
Join YCBA museum docents to learn about Isaac Julien’s immersive film installation Lina Bo Bardi—A Marvellous Entanglement. A short walking tour of local architecture will follow.
About the tour
A leading figure in postwar Latin American modernism, Lina Bo Bardi (1914–1992) designed some of Brazil’s most iconic art institutions. Her modernist designs find resonance with numerous buildings in New Haven.
YCBA docents will discuss architectural highlights of the Chapel Street arts area, including Paul Rudolph Hall (1963), home to the Yale School of Architecture and Yale Architecture Gallery; Yale School of Art; the Yale University Art Gallery’s Louis I. Kahn building (1953), the architect’s first commission and first modernist structure on campus; and the Yale Center for British Art (1977), Kahn’s final building.
Meet outside the Yale Architecture Gallery at 180 York Street. The tour will begin with a short walk to the corner of Chapel and High Streets, weather permitting, and end inside the gallery.
About the exhibition
Sir Isaac Julien’s immersive multichannel film installation Lina Bo Bardi—A Marvellous Entanglement (2019) offers a poetic portrait of the leading architect of Brazilian modernism, Lina Bo Bardi. The nine-screen installation envisioned for the Yale Architecture Gallery ignites a conversation between Bo Bardi’s landmark buildings in Brazil and Paul Rudolph’s Brutalist design for the Yale School of Architecture (1963). The exhibition is on view at the Yale Architecture Gallery through December 10, 2023.
