Gallery Talk: Domestic Takes

Domestic Takes:
Three generations on what matters most on the home front
Monday, April 13, 5:30–8 pm
303 Bond Street, Brooklyn

How do members of Gen X, Y, and Z think about home? What about residential architecture do they see as valuable, problematic, compelling, or needing more exploration? Mónica Ponce de León, Shoshana Torn, and Massimo Giannone—the generation-spanning curators of The House Transformed—discuss their views in a conversation led by Tiffany Jow, editor-in-chief of the design journal Untapped.

On view at Van Alen Institute through May 22, The House Transformed presents new ideas for domestic architecture. Featuring participants from local and global contexts, the exhibition rejects conventional notions of nuclear family and a “one-size-fits-all” approach to the house. These models and drawings explore alternative concepts for collective living, multigenerational households, and caregiving.
