György Kepes: Interthinking Art + Science
"György Kepes: Interthinking Art + Science," a 90-minute documentary by Hungarian filmmaker Márton Orosz, will make its L.A. premier at the Ahmanson Theater, ArtCenter College of Design. György Kepes (1906 - 2001) was a prominent figure in the mid-20th-century art and design scene, contributing to the international development of art and design theory and the application of design principles in various fields. Architect of the Light Workshop at the New Bauhaus/School of Design in Chicago in 1937 and founder and first director of the Center for Advanced Visual Studies (CAVS) at MIT in 1967, Kepes's enterprise was to fill the gap between the humanities and the sciences. Conversation with the director and reception to follow the film screening.
Presented in conjunction with the ArtCenter College of Design's PST ART: Art & Science Collide exhibition Seeing the Unseeable: Data, Design, Art.
