Creating in Community: Fowler at 60 celebrates the sixtieth anniversary of the Fowler Museum at UCLA. As we look back at the research, exhibitions, and public programs of the past sixty years, we recognize that the most joyful and interesting projects have been those created with others. Through these collaborations fresh ideas bloomed, unforeseen challenges and expectations arose, and new connections were forged. Come revisit these extraordinary projects with us, as we bring this spirit of engagement into the future by working with partners to use our building and collections in ever more experimental ways.

Description
Rubén Esparza’s Untitled (flag) series challenges the symbolic meaning of the American flag and questions the sociopolitical history that has made it recognizable globally. A symbol of the American dream for some, and capitalist imperialism for others, the history of the American flag is fraught and complicated.

Description
The room is completely covered with mirrors and lights. As the multitude of lights reflect, they accumulate and expand exponentially. This sense of infinity has been with the artist from the beginning, always looking for more precise ways to express itself. In Infinity Mirrored Room—The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away, Yayoi Kusama’s world is the viewer’s.
