Garage

The book of Olivia Erlanger and Luis Ortega Govela Garage is the first joint publication of the Garage Museum and the Institute of Media, Architecture and Design Strelka.
The authors of the book - the American artist Olivia Erlanger and the architect Luis Ortega - turn to garage mythology and her heroes, including Frank Lloi? T and Walt Disney, William Hughlett and David Packard, Steve Jobs and Steve Vozniak, Steve Jobs, Steve Kurt Cobain and Gwen Stefani.
The modern garage is much wider than the walls that they hold it. This is a special zone that has turned from a car stall into a shelter of a person who longs to hide from the oppression of family rules and the requirements of professionalism. This is the mythical space of invention and criminal secrets, the territory on the border of intimate and public. Olivia Erlanger and Louis Ortega traced the genealogy of the garage from the first projects of Frank Lloyd Wright to the emergence of Silicon Valley and the Apple cult, from Walt Disney to Kurt Cobain to understand that the automatic doors of this symbol of the counter -culture and fashionable startups are hiding.
The book is illustrated by the collages of the authors and photographs of the garage doors of the Los Angeles of the 1970s
