Modern Living is a performance installation that takes place in modernist homes, including Philip Johnson’s Glass House in New Canaan, CT; the Schindler House in Los Angeles; the Breuer House in Tarrytown, NY; and the Menil House in Houston. These houses sheltered different manifestations of intimacy and ideas of family and relationships that were as modern as their design. Working with contemporary dancers and experts in the fields of architecture and design, Gerard & Kelly create a choreographic score that occupies and opens up these homes to a broad public and focuses on the lived relations of these iconic sites of modernism. Estimated artist fee: $13,000/performance, $24,000/week.
