Curated by Douglas Fogle for the Neutra VDL Studio and Residences in Los Angeles, Leonor Antunes: discrepancies with E.S. (in company) engages with the modernist domestic spatial configurations of Richard Neutra's iconic home and studio. Responding to the unique architectural environment of Neutra's iconic Los Angeles home and workspace, Antunes has made a sculptural intervention into this mid-century modern icon with a new body of work inspired by the designs of the Austrian émigré architect Elizabeth Scheu Close (1912-2011), an MIT-trained architect who brought modernist design to Minneapolis and whose family was part of the same Viennese social circles as the Neutras.

This project has been made possible by the generous support of Chara Schreyer. Additional support has been provided by Marian Goodman Gallery, Los Angeles, and kurimanzutto, Mexico City/New York.
