Homemaking

“Homemaker” is the word used to describe someone that takes care of the “home” and its inhabitants (often children) instead of earning money from employment elsewhere. The homemaker is therefore often thought in tandem with the architectural space of the “house,” which they make into a “home.” But, can there be a “homemaker” without a “house”?

In this exhibition project, kuntsverein invites three artistic positions that understand “the home” as a fluid, ephemeral, and sometimes even fictional construct. The presented artworks ask how a “home” is made and what it consists of – is it an image, is it a sound, or is it movement?

“Homemaking” features artworks by Diana Barbosa Gil, Michaela Nagydaiová & Tahereh Nourani, and Selina Shirin Strizel.

This project is made possible with the support of BMWKMS, the Federal Ministry of Housing, Arts, Culture, Media and Sport
