DESCRIPTION:RESCHEDULED TO AUGUST 27Eileen Gray has received widespread acc
 laim as one of the most accomplished woman designers of the twentieth cent
 ury and one of the few women to practice architecture in France between th
 e World Wars. Yet\, despite her fame that largely came posthumously\, Gray
 ’s career\, and in particular the legitimacy of her independent work as an
  architect\, has endured extensive scrutiny. In our second webinar in this
  series about Gray\, Cloé Pitiot and Nina Stritzler-Levine\, the co-organi
 zers of the exhibition Eileen Gray at the Bard Graduate Center\, will expl
 icate and respond to the prevailing issues surrounding Gray and architectu
 re. They will discuss the exhibition’s presentation of Gray as an architec
 t and share their thoughts on the challenges associated with resolving som
 e of the unanswered questions about her work. Among the most important of 
 these issues is distinguishing the specific creative roles Gray and Romani
 an architect Jean Badovici each played in their collaborative projects whi
 ch include E 1027 and the lesser-known residences at Vézelay\, an artist c
 ommunity outside Paris. The discussion will also consider Tempe a Pailla a
 nd Lou Pérou\, the houses Gray designed for herself in the south of France
 \, as well as the unrealized modern and vernacular projects of the 1930s a
 nd late 1940s. Please register here\, and the zoom link will be emailed to
  you one day prior to the event.Meet the Speakers:Cloé Pitiot is the curat
 or of Art nouveau\, Art déco\, and modern and contemporary design at the M
