Brennan Gerard and Ryan Kelly in Conversation with Jorge Otero-Pailos
Jorge Otero-Pailos, Professor and Director of the Historic Preservation program at Columbia GSAPP, speaks with Brennan Gerard and Ryan Kelly, artists who use their performances as a form of inquiry and preservation, in advance of their lecture on March 22, 2018. \nThey discuss the architecture of intimacy and its intersection with queer identity, explored in their project Modern Living. They also touch on whether the \u2018dream house\u2019 ever really exists \u2013 or if it\u2019s an invention of real estate agents. \n"It is about a time spent, intimately, listening, passing time, noticing, observing, the different ways the environment affects the space. Trying really, I guess, feel what it felt like, to live in the space."\n\u2013Ryan Kelly \nMore information on Gerard and Kelly at http://gerardandkelly.com/ \nMore information on their lecture at https://www.arch.columbia.edu/events/922-on-modern-living
