Model Homes! White Flight! Protest! + Resistance!

Today, Field Projects Co-Directors Jacob Rhodes and Kris Racaniello discuss their week, covering some podcasts, comedy shows, and their future projects including a summer conference and–– haunted paintings?? Then the FP team presents a roundtable with artist Johannah Herr, her co-author and collaborator Cara Marsh Sheffler and Lynn Maliszewski, the Archives and Collections Manager of the Queens Museum. The roundtable took place within Herr’s solo exhibition I HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE, a show featuring her architectural imaginaries. We discuss Johannah’s work and “I Have Seen the Future: Official Guidebook,” a collaborative publication between Cara Marsh Sheffler & Johannah Herr. Lynn Maliszewski brings her work on the history of the World’s Fairs in Flushing Meadows to bear on our discussion of the content of the exhibition during our panel. They talk about the 1939 and 1964 world's fairs that took place in Flushing NY–– a discussion covering our constructed understanding of colonialism, nationalism, racism, misogyny, religious motivations, but also the hope and idealism that shaped the fairs. What pavilion lives in secret in your head? Jacob and Kris wrap things up after the interview with a short list of shows to “go see” right now plus a special Beverly’s opening interview!
