The Architect & The Housewife: Cleaning the House, Building the Future

 

19 September 2026 - 9 May 2027

 

Who gets to design ‘the house’ and who takes care of it? This international group exhibition brings together contemporary artists who are making work about the realities of maintaining their artistic practice when the tasks of everyday life need to happen too. These works deal with care, scale, collectivity, visibility, repetition, domesticity, unlearning, what counts as ‘work' or an artwork.
