Ellen Maria Gorrissen Lecture

Pacing

In this talk, artist, writer, and filmmaker Renée Green discusses Pacing, her two-year project at Harvard University’s Carpenter Center for Visual Arts, which focuses on the building’s iconic design by Le Corbusier. Green will also explore the project’s evolution, for example in her current work on a film based on the materials gathered during her research on the Carpenter Center and the only other built structure by Le Corbusier in the Americas, the Casa Curutchet in La Plata, Argentina. She addresses conditions of residency and displacement, subjective experience, institutional memory, notions of progress, architectural modernism, and the inevitability of decay, all the while rethinking how time is marked.
