The Making of Household Gods

⁣Created and presented during a time of change, Household Gods is HART’s first exhibition originated from its Social Studio program. It rethinks how art and creativity empower each of us, and attempts to offer new insights into our complicated and currently uncertain world, addressing questions about the relationships between mankind in a household setting, as well as natural and supernatural phenomenon. ⁣

Let’s take a sneak peek of the artists’ latest commissioned pieces. Nadim Abbas is developing a series of set pieces that place a new logic on modular domestic furniture to expose the unpredictable nature of image, body and space.

Shane Aspegren expands his ongoing investigation into the healing qualities of sonic frequencies on the body and brain through a sound piece presented in conjunction with a series of small sculptures in this show.⁣

For this exhibition, Tap Chan creates on a sculptural installation that questions the psychological and material nature of space as a concept, exploring the blurring of fiction and reality in modern daily life.

Building from the concept of anxiety, Wu Jiaru’s work experiments with social norms to create lasting sculptures constructed by preserved material, provoking reflections of her daily household existence.
