The exhibition Homestory explores the space from the perspective of a collectors’ home. Exhibiting works from 5 international contemporary artists – Gina Fischli, Jeewi Lee, Talisa Lallai, Oliver Osborne and Max Ruf. The works on display are exhibited in a private setting – referencing domestic subject matter: items and captured moments from our daily lives that infiltrate our daily cosmos. Homestory offers up a tableau of a collector whose home we have been invited into, reflecting their personality and offering a depiction of their home story.
Homestory brings together emerging and acclaimed artistic voices in the mediums of painting, photography, video and sculpture, to present a narrative of one’s personal story. Offering moments of intimacy, personal reflection, nostalgia and subjective taste: Homestory scrutinises the world we live in now, between objects and cultural discourses of self expression.
