Antechamber : on the threshold of the domestic

20 Jun-2 Oct 2013

Overview

Including a collaborative commission by David Ben White and Poppy Whatmore. Our lives are delineated by our domestic and working environments, within which we negotiate and rearrange our identities. Taking the unusual gallery space of Collyer Bristow as the starting point, this exhibition tussles with the ideas and ideals implicit in our domestic environments. From the philosophies presented throughout history through ‘interior design’ to the contested place of women in the home, the artists in this exhibition explore both personal and societal ideologies through photography, drawing and sculpture.
