The Sightings Bina Ellen Gallery’s satellite exhibition program was designed to invite artists and participants in the visual arts to reflect on issues related to the white cube as a modernist conception of exhibition space.
The stillness that the cube creates in the motion-filled space and its properties of mise en scène in a university context led me to propose an installation articulated around the idea of the study room with furniture commonly called mid-century modern, referring also to the time when the building was erected. Free of electronic apparatuses, this small study room is intended to contrast with today’s learning context.
As I was doing my research, however, I digressed and turned to the furniture of the Bauhaus. The great propensity of this movement for research and engagement appeared to me to offer the ideal principles to highlight in Sightings, as an experimental space.
