“Lintel, Mantel, Module, Shelf” at La MaMa Galleria

Opening: Sat Jan 07, From 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM

Curated by Samuel Draxler

The sites we inhabit on a day-to-day basis are structured by methods of design and construction that increasingly involve modular architecture, flat-pack furniture, and a constellation of pre-fab, standardized, and replaceable components. Within the context of sites structured by these functional, cost-saving practices, Lintel, Mantel, Module, Shelf focuses on works in which artists co-opt materials and motifs to evade or undermine the conventions of the domestic, industrial, and aesthetic spaces they inhabit.
