Unfinished Business Exhibition

a multi-media 25-year retrospective
Los Angeles, CA

Unfinished Business is a retrospective exhibition of the Los Angeles Forum for Architecture and Urban Design, a non-profit organization which has been at the center of the city’s architectural discourse for 25 years. Since 1987, the Forum has been producing lecture series, panel discussions, design competitions, publications and exhibitions. 

Siobhán served as co-curator of Unfinished Business and led the oral history team in the curation, design and production of the LA Forum Voices project. LA Forum Voices is a collection of informal sound bites that vocalizes the origins, design culture and other inspirations that describe the nature of a nimble organization. The project hopes to introduce a new dimension to the LA Forum’s unfinished business.
