I don't think I will be able to make it to this show, The New Decor, which is a shame as it looks and sounds amazing. It is about artists using interior design.
"The New Decor is an international survey with over 30 contemporary artists whose work elaborates on the common vocabulary of interior design. By reconfiguring and reinventing the familiar objects of domestic life such as chairs, tables, beds, lighting, wallpaper and flooring, these artists look beyond design and function to create provocative sculptures and installations. By drawing out the social, historical and personal stories which are embedded in the everyday objects that surround us, the artists aim to open up the discussion about interior space in different parts of the work, and in different social contexts, with interpretations ranging from the absurd and the horrifying to the lyrical."
It sounds like the kind of work I am interested in, and areas I am interested in. I was excited about the whole show, but particularly in seeing the work of Martin Boyce, Tom Burr, Marc Camille Chaimowicz, Elmgreen & Dragset, Urs Fischer, Mona Hatoum, Jim Lambie, Sarah Lucas, Manfred Pernice, and Doris Salcedo.
