GOFF
2019 / 95 min / USA
Director: Britini Harris
Streaming live tonight at 8:00 pm ET. Replay at 11:00 pm ET

Bruce Goff was one of the most creative American architects of the 20th century. A peer to Frank Lloyd Wright, his work had a profound influence on the next generation of architects, including Phillip Johnson and Frank Gehry. However, Goff’s willingness to explore flamboyant designs often solicited polarized perspectives of his work. As a result of establishing his practice in an otherwise conservative landscape and his unabashed desire to experiment with the possibilities of form, much of his work has been left to decay or forgotten altogether. GOFF explores the life of an iconoclast and chronicles the events that led to the destruction and renewed interest of his memory and dwellings.

Before tonight’s film, we will have an introduction by Alison Fisher, associate curator of architecture and design, Art Institute of Chicago

After the screening, a Q&A with the director, Britini Harris
