Theoriesalon #15: Francesco Marullo. Domestic Trojan Horses

By subsuming the whole human intellectual, relational and affective faculties, contemporary bio-capitalism put life itself at work, overcoming any conventional labour/dwelling space distinction and assuming the unpaid women labour, namely household management, reproduction and care, as paradigmatic form of exploitation.

This talk will use the figures and the cages of Francis Bacon’s painting to explore three coeval architectural projects that purposely subverted the stereotyped middle-class domestic interior.

with: Francesco Marullo, Rotterdam
hosted by: Andreas Rumpfhuber

Francesco Marullo holds a Master of Science in Architecture and Urbanism from the Technische Universiteit Delft and he is currently developing a Ph.D. research on the ‘Architecture of Labour and the Spaces of Production’ within The City as a Project doctoral program at the Berlage Institute Rotterdam.
