A Cake You Can’t Eat is a discussion of proposals made by Renée Petropoulos and Julian Hoeber.
A Cake You Can’t Eat
Anthony Carfello & Kimberli Meyer
Since 1994, every realized MAK Center program has been presented in cooperation with the Friends of the Schindler House, in the name of conservation through activation. The following dialogue, between Julian Hoeber, Renée Petropoulos, Kimberli Meyer, and Anthony Carfello, centers on proposals made by Petropoulos and Hoeber in response to Schindler Lab invitations from 2012. Both proposals were accepted, but proved unrealizable. The conversation, which explores their proposals in light of the challenges of contemporary preservation, took place on August 26, 2014, at the Schindler House, and was subsequently edited for publication.
