Modern Living, a new project by Gerard & Kelly, explores themes of queer intimacy and domestic space within legacies of modernist architecture. The project unfolds in two chapters, beginning with performances at the Schindler House in West Hollywood, January 9-10, 2016, and continuing at The Glass House in New Canaan, CT in May 2016. The Schindler House, built in 1921 by R.M. Schindler, housed two families who shared a kitchen, garden, and other common spaces—an early example of communal living. The Glass House famously sheltered its architect Philip Johnson and his partner, David Whitney, in a relationship that preceded the Stonewall rebellion. Working with the nine dancers of LA Dance Project, Gerard & Kelly create a performance score that re-imagines the homes as sites of experiments in living, positing architecture as choreography for relationships. Modern Living is FREE with advance reservation. Saturday, January 9: 12 pm | 1 pm | 2 pm Sunday, January 10: 12 pm | 1 pm | 2 pm Contact {encode="[email protected]" title="[email protected]"} to make a reservation. Please specify time and date to ensure a place. Further event info: makcenter.org/programming/modern-living
