Ideal Home
20 Sep-22 Oct 2011
Chelsea Space
London SW1P 4JU
Overview
'ideal home' takes its title from one of the exhibits - an Omega Workshop Rug designed by Frederick Etchells for the 1913 Daily Mail Ideal Home Exhibition. The show brings together work by over 50 artists and designers made across 98 years from 1913 to 2011 exploring the increasingly blurred boundaries between art and daily life. ‘ideal home’ focusses not only on an optimistic vision of a harmonious life through art and design but also looks at the flipside through artworks which are dysfunctional, often darkly humorous critiques of modern life. From Gerrit Rietveld’s ‘Red and Blue Chair’ to Gavin Turk’s ‘Egg Seat’ this exhibition gives us a view somewhere between domestic bliss and a living hell.
