Client:

Title:
Insiders, Othered Histories – research and exhibition by Carolina Dayer

Year:
2020

‘Look around your home, what stories does a room tell? Who made those walls? Who stared through that window? How did we arrive to these interior worlds? Inspired by 19th century European female genre painters, workers, writers and thinkers that constructed intricate, yet unknown notions of domestic space, this project imagines two rooms where traditional interior characters are re-presented to stimulate and dismantle notions of interiority. Those once othered become central to the making of an ambiguous architecture where material presence and spatial relocation spark wonder. Undesigned rooms, untold stories, unexhibited artists, their cultural and social contribution teaches us about spaces we may have forgotten and relationships we may have not seen.’

The exhibition was sponsored by Kvadrat and ege
