Under the Southern Sun: California Modernism in Schokolo

Galerie Schokolo would like to invite you to a series of lectures and screenings accompanying the launch of the new publication Voyage Around My Apartment. This was created by the Okolo team in collaboration with renowned architectural historian Michael Webb, who during the Covid-19 crisis decided to thoroughly describe the story of his apartment, located in the legendary Strathmore residential complex in Los Angeles, built in 1937 according to the design of architect Richard Neutra. During three meetings in September at the Schokolo gallery, the new book produced by Okolo along with lectures and documentary films about California modernism will be presented.
