5. Uncanny Storytellers
NY / 2019
From GSAPP Core 1 Studio
Uncanny Storytellers examines the life of “stuff,” exploring how they perform domesticity throughout the city and how they gain value as they are displayed to the public.
On a portion of Broadway between 150th St. and 184th St. residents of Washington Heights drag their furniture out to the sidewalk and engage with the neighborhood in a very domestic manner. An exhibition/storage space allows residents to keep their unused stuff in circulation by displaying, curating and exchanging parts of their own domestic collection using the window as an architectural mediator between the stuff nd the people. Once the stuff ecomes unusable, it gets incorporated into the architecture as material for the window frames themselves.
