Republic Galler y is pleased to announce the upcoming group exhibition INTERIOR OF DESIGN.< /p>
Curated by Jordan Strom\, including work by: Babak Golkar\, Hadley+Ma xwell\, YeddaMorrison\, Natasha McHardy and Marina Roy\, Samuel Roy-Bois\, Nicole+Ryan\, EricaStocking\, and Brandon Thiessen. Interior of Design re-a rranges the margins between art object\, furnishing and architecture as the y collectively relate to the art—and the act—of interior design. Here\, int erior space and its contents are treated as still life\, as a space of care fully considered collection and display\, and a site for the safe consumpti on of rarified nature. The exhibition considers the specific return to inte rior space in art in the age of the condominium tower at the beginning of a new millennium. As the dominant site for the display of art in our society \, the space of the domestic interior—especially the space of the living ro om—has lived a double-life as semi-privateart gallery. Interior of Design o pens up a space to consider this latest phase in the collapse between the p rivate interior and art gallery. The exhibition considers the interior as n ot only spatial\, but also “image-based.” The artworks in this exhibition p ay close attention to modes of presenting the ideals and dreams of the inte rior through new “interior” magazines\, television programs\, and Internet sites. The media of interior design may not be any more prominent than it w as in the 19th century\, but it has grown more sophisticated in the present ation of its “neomodern”self-image. Here the room\, like the furniture\, is sectional in its ability to be rearranged\; like a walkthrough\, it is as immersive and skeletal as a wireframe room\; and like a collection of pictu res\, it acts as an archive of traces.
