The film was a featured short at The Sundance Film Festival is followed by a panel discussion with Perlbinder, architecture critic Paul Goldberger, architect James Merrell, and psychoanalyst Robby Stein. It will be moderated by Museum Director Terrie Sultan.
Home (1989, NR, 7:40 minutes), directed by Perlbinder, tells the story of a tyrannical starchitect who imposes his absurd vision on an unsuspecting couple building their first home. John Glover stars as Erich Hochmann, a brilliant and trendy deconstructivist architect modeled after Peter Eisenman, whose arrogance extends beyond his students and associates to his well-heeled, social-climbing clients. The protagonist also references personalities such as Howard Roark from Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead, and Frank Lloyd Wright.
Admission is $12 or free for museum members and students. Parrish Art Museum is located at 279 Montauk Highway, Water Mill, NY 11976.
