With a title borrowed from a telegram in architects Mary Imrie and Jean Wallbridge's archive, GLAD YOU CLOSER HOME / NEW WHITE WHISKER MARY, Cait McKinney and Hazel Meyer’s immersive exhibition playfully imagines and speculates in the spaces between the correspondence, amateur 8mm film recordings, and modernist buildings that these remarkable women have left behind.

McKinney and Meyer’s collaborative practice is rooted in how queer history lives in research and archives. Their work treats archives as more than places to establish official historical narratives, but as sites for fantasizing, questioning, and feeling amongst objects and ephemera, and the relevance those items hold in our contemporary moment. When drawing from the archive of Imrie and Wallbridge, McKinney and Meyer’s approach to artmaking amplifies the resonance of these lovers and architects’ exceptional lives in ways that documents alone cannot.
