Domesticated is a playful and decorative furnishing of Articulate project space, including furniture and references to popular culture and the everyday. It aims to break with more traditional gallery viewing modes by creating a relaxed experience in the warehouse-like space of the Articulate project space building and blurring the line between the domestic realm, furniture showroom and museum.
Works such as rustic furniture, a converted washing machine and psychedelic wallpaper panels will transform Articulate into an artists' take on a living space, ignoring the boundaries of craft, design, decoration, art and architecture. Floor and wall works will form a backdrop to artists’ furniture/sculptures creating strange conversations between two-dimensional and three dimensional works where a wool cloud chair sits in front of a handmade wallpaper panel, African inspired wall hangings form the backdrop to an artists tableau and a Rietveld chair converses with hand-woven plastic mats and baskets.
