H-cubed
an exhibit of Heart, Hearth and Home
by Rebecca and Raphaela
Feb. 23 @ 7pm, dance party 8 - 11pm.
H-cubed is a new element. It’s a building block for House Galleries. The concept of ‘home’ and ‘gallery’ are challenged here and the viewer is put in a more honest position of accepting or not accepting the gallery as also the home to six artists. The exhibit does this by incorporating heart, hearth and home into the process of the exhibit rather than trying to disguise them.
This exhibit illustrates the huge range of definitions from various sources, of what a ‘home’ is as well as what a ‘gallery’ is. Viewers are encouraged to add words of association to the two, large lists under the words “home” and “gallery”. The word “gallery” for instance can mean a long room or a piece of metal. “Home” can mean the greatest physical medium in the history of modern spiritualism’ or ‘a place to keep your vehicle’.
People attending this one-day event will be encouraged to bring in their ‘home’ work — e.g. clothes that need mending, things that need sorting….There will be a sewing station, a button station and a sorting station for various tasks.
Following the ‘home’ session is a dance party. Add words to the lists and help celebrate heart, hearth and home. This exhibit is meant to empower the home as gallery and ask people to reflect on their perspectives and expectations of both.
