Familiar Dwellings | Student Exhibition
Through a mimesis of domestic living space, this exhibition considers the ways in which the objects and architecture that comprise the home simultaneously mediate, reflect and construct our relationship to the world around us. The intimacy granted to commodity objects of the home will be observed as a site for the production and mediation of gender, class and familial relations.
This home is arranged according to the individual sensibilities and understandings of the artists, as well as the collectively experienced cultural phenomena of what is defined as the house, the home, the dwelling, the living space.
Visual Art Forums | An-My Lê - Audain DAIR
An-My Lê’s work explores the American military. She presents photographs of landscapes transformed by war or other military activities, blurring the boundaries between Hollywood portrayals and photojournalistic documentation.
