The Memory Palace: Domesticity, Objects, and the Interior
Works from the Permanent Collection selected for exhibition complement the works of contemporary artists concurrently on view, all drawing connections between varied media and juxtaposing historical works with contemporary. Works by Wallace Nutting, Marion Pooke, Richard Yarde, Andrew Stevovich, and more illustrate interiors as a recognized trope of art history, with a focus on interiors which convey psychological tension, the gendered interior, and the artist鈥檚 studio.
Lindsey Beal \ Private Lives, Public Spaces
Arresting and intimate, works by Lindsey Beal recall hand-crafted, 19th century objects which would have been displayed prominently in the Victorian home. However, Beal鈥檚 work makes visible that which was decidedly not for public consumption. The artist鈥檚 references to the female body, and the social and cultural constructions which define it, offer a nuanced look at how public discussions intersect with private lives.
Marie Craig \ Around the Curve
Marie Craig鈥檚 series Around the Curve features 鈥減ortraits鈥� of upholstered chairs and couches that, in their damage and decay, have been banished from the showroom of the home, and disposed on the side of the road. Craig captures these objects as she finds them, often in a dilapidated state. For Craig, the chair is a symbol, in her words, of 鈥溾�he setting for the drama that is home and family.鈥� Through close study of a specific, and symbolic, domestic object, Craig explores the result of altered domesticity.
Molly Lamb \ Ghost Stepping
The haunting, contemporary works of Molly Lamb remind us of the inevitability of time鈥檚 transformative power on objects, and the precarious and fragmented nature of memory. Her photographs of inherited domestic objects accompanied by ethereal landscapes are traces of a familial past. Lamb鈥檚 work confronts the divide between interior and exterior, and dissolves the space between past and present..
