Miles Gertler leads discussion at Cross Circuits Speakers Series at The Power Plant

Miles Gertler leads a public talk in response to Aria Dean's exhibition Abattoir, U.S.A.! In her latest film, "Abattoir, U.S.A.!", Dean explores her extensive research on agricultural and industrial architecture by delving into the interior of an empty slaughterhouse. She animates the slaughterhouse to reflect on its significance in the development of modernist architecture and urban design. The film raises questions about the omission of slaughterhouses from the narrative of modernism, prompting reflections on the connections between modernist ideals and the concept of death.
