Art in the Long View at Lunchtime
In conversation with artists and MoMA Lecturers, explore long-term, process-based art and its impact on the experience of art. While many artists establish concrete goals, the processes we are interested in examining may span the lifetime of the artist, require ongoing participation or discussion, and be linked more to research and exploration than to a pre-established plan. Bring your lunch and discover how these challenges to the constraints of time and the expectations of final product and finality force viewers and participants to reconsider the role of art in society. This series serves as an incubator of ideas in advance of our upcoming Contemporary Art Forum on May 2 and 3.

This lecture provides an overview of Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling. The exhibition is a survey of the past, present, and future of the prefabricated home, and a building project on the Museum's vacant west lot. Not since the mid-century House in the Garden series has MoMA built occupiable model buildings to demonstrate contemporary issues to the public. The fives homes erected on the vacant west lot are designed by Kieran Timberlake Associates (Philadelphia); Jeremy Edmiston and Douglas Gauthier (New York); Horden Cherry Lee Architects/Haack + Höpfner Architects (London/Munich); Massachusetts Institute of Technology School of Architecture and Planning/Associate Professor Lawrence Sass (Cambridge); and Oskar Leo Kaufmann (Dornbirn, Austria).

Lecturer Peter Christensen (bArch, Cornell University; MDesS candidate, Harvard University) is a curatorial assistant in the Department of Architecture and Design at MoMA.

In conjunction with the exhibition Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling
