Home is not just something we make – it is something we remake, every day, day after day. In this talk, Edward Hollis will consider the ways in which the home is constructed and regulated by the routines we perform in them, from cooking to cleaning.
About
Our homes are not just but bricks and mortar, but are also composed of rituals, rubrics, and recipes.
Edward Hollis studied Architecture at Cambridge and Edinburgh Universities; and practiced as an architect for six years in Edinburgh and Sri Lanka. In 1999, he began lecturing in Interior Architecture at Edinburgh Napier University, moving to Edinburgh College of Art in 2004, where he is now Director of Research and Professor of Interior Design. He is the author of three books: ‘The Secret Lives of Buildings’: a collection of folk tales stories about mythical buildings, published in 2009 ‘The Memory Palace: a Book of lost Interiors” and “How to Make a Home” published in 2016.
Make Place is a talks programme exploring domestic space and identity at Salford Museum and Art Gallery. Featuring renowned academics and artists from across the UK, the programme will contextualise Mark Devereux Projects represented artist Sophie Lee’s own artistic research into domesticity, which has included visiting the Gvendareyjar islands in Iceland to studying Salford Museum and Art Gallery’s extensive collection of nineteenth-century household objects, furniture, fixtures and fittings.
