Book launch – Past-Architecture: The Maison de Verre, Duchamp, Domesticity and Desire in 1930s Paris
04 Jul 2017, 18:30 – 20:00
The event includes a presentation by Emma Cheatle (Newcastle University) followed by responses from Hélène Frichot (KTH, Stockholm) and Barbara Penner (Bartlett), and an open Q and A chaired by Jane Rendell (The Bartlett). This event is free and open to the public. No booking required.
Emma Cheatle’s inspiring book is a must read for any historian of twentieth-century modernism. Cheatle’s concept of ‘partarchitecture’ itself sets out a mode of working that can go beyond the limits of the textual record, using the building’s materiality, and creative sited practices to offer new interpretations and speculative insights for architectural history and design thinking.
