Home sweet home
The collection "Home Sweet Home" contains works by contemporary artists, inspired by the home space, which has significantly increased its influence in our lives recently... it seemed to have grown into the foreground, became an abnormal figure, a significant actor in our daily flow. It is interesting to observe how this space expands, distorts, where it leads through its interpretations by modern artists who appropriate elements of home life in their practice.
This curatorial selection for a-s-t-r-a gallery was created based on the show "Home Sweet Home", implemented in February 2021 at the Zverev Center for Contemporary Art.
