Hot House
Group Exhibition
Curated by Eva Conrad
Bunker Projects, January 6 - February 3, 2023
As late capitalism has slowly drifted toward a handmade movement, alongside the many have begun to indulge back in hand-making. Hot House brought together a group of artists whose work is part of the current resurgence of the pattern and decoration movement in response to the white washing minimalism of gentrification aesthetics. Instead, maximalism and vibrant color provide an aesthetic of optimism that gestures back to traditionally more democratic forms of folk art and craft.
