There is something that links all of the different things. It’s what we call our person. 
There is a link that we don’t do purposely; it’s there. It’s your sensitivity. 
It’s your identity. 
It’s one person in different rooms [...]

– Etel Adnan (1925-2021)

 

Homestory explores the exhibition space from the perspective of a collectors’ home, presenting works from 5 contemporary artists – Gina Fischli, Jeewi Lee, Talisa Lallai, Oliver Osborne, and Max Ruf. The works on view are presented 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.
