As part of the opening of the Dutch Pavilion's Work, Body, Leisure exhibit in the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale, this afternoon architecture historian and theorist Beatriz Colomina held Bed-In Interviews: a four-hour non-stop interview marathon echoing the famous bed-ins of John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
Also echoing the marathon interview sessions of Hans Ulrich Obrist, Colomina was slated to be joined by a long list of interviewees: Paola Antonelli, Thordis Arrhenius, Felix Burrichter, Odile Decq, Elizabeth Diller, Keller Easterling, James Taylor Foster, Eva Franch, Samia Henni, Nikolaus Hirsch, Francesca Hughes, Andres Jaque, Lesley Lokko, Niklas Maak, Winy Maas, Ivan Lopez Munuera, Alysa Nahmias, Pascal Schwaighofer, Felicity Scott, Madelon Vriesendorp, and Mark Wasiuta. Needless to say, I didn't stick around for the four-hour duration -- only long enough to snap a couple photos.

Read Beatriz Colomina's "The 24/7 Bed" essay for her take on the bed's role "as a unique horizontal architecture in the age of social media [and] a contemporary workspace transforming labor."
