Show detail Hide detail

Recording of a party held at the home of architect John Parkin on 11 March 1961, attended by Parkin and his wife, Jean, by Parkin's brother and his brother's wife, by artist Harold Town and Town's wife, Trudy, and daughter Heather, by the architect Ron Thom and the art dealer Jerrold Morris. The tapes record the conversations of John Parkin and Ron Thom, discussing architecture in Canada and their own architectural projects, and the conversations of Harold Towm and John and Jean Parkin discussing a painting by Town that the Parkins have acquired and have hanging in their home; Town talks about the creation of the work and his responses to it. Interspersed with the conversations are others about art in general, about other architects and artists, relations between men and women, Parkin's recent tour across Canada, and other subjects, as the conversations meander in the normal party way. Reference is made on a number of occasions to the fact that these conversations are being taped, but the general tenor of the talk is spontaneous and unreserved.
