Join Our Online Glass House Conversation Hosted by Kimberli Meyer, Director, MAK Center for Art and Architecture, Los Angeles

Kimberli Meyer

There are just a few days left to join the online Glass House Conversation with host Kimberli Meyer, Director, MAK Center for Art and Architecture, Los Angeles, at the Schindler House.

A relentless torrent of discourse, high and low, has come to dominate contemporary life. Yet we willingly add more. Why does our chatter matter? Are we invested in the exchange of ideas, do we feel pressured to participate to keep from getting lost in the crowd, or is there something else going on? Where does substance and self-promotion stop and start?

Why are we having this conversation?
