Exhibition

When D and H decide to sell the home they have loved and lived in for two decades, they begin a process of saying goodbye to their shared history under the same roof. The upheaval causes anxieties to surface, and wife and performance artist D struggles to control the personal and creative aspects of her life with H. Dreams, memories, and fears have all imprinted themselves on their home, which exists a container for their lives and has played such an important role in their relationship. D is played by female punk pioneer Viv Albertine, best known as the guitarist of the Slits, while H is played by Turner-nominated artist Liam Gillick. The building at the movies center is "H-House", designed, build by James Melvin in 1969 and lived in with his wife for 18 years. The building was demolished in 2019.
