A live lunchtime talk exploring artist L U C I N E’s takeover of AUAR Lab's House Block in Clapton, Hackney, discussing and challenging the meanings of domesticity & family.
AUAR is a research laboratory at The Bartlett, directed by Lecturers in Architecture Mollie Claypool, Gilles Retsin, Manuel Jimenez and Senior Research Fellow in Public Engagement Claire McAndrew. In partnership with Hackney Council, as a part of an exploration of digital approaches to community-led developments, the lab presents House Block, a temporary housing prototype in Clapton, East London from April — May 2021.
House Block is designed and built using AUAR Lab’s Block Type A modular housing system, and demonstrates the potential of participatory approaches to housing, where local communities utilise digital modes of production.
Join us live on YouTube for this Lunchtime Talk between AUAR Lab, artist L U C I N E, Jasmine Wilson (Studio Wayne McGregor) and Mark E Breeze & Katie Kasabalis (Experimental 17, AA School).
The discussion is rooted in L U C I N E’s takeover of AUAR’s House Block in Clapton, Hackney, which seeks to challenge traditional ideas of family. This discussion will revolve around meanings of domesticity & family, as three 2-minute video excerpts from L U C I N E’s performance at House Block set the scene and provide a backdrop for the conversation.
