HOME
Hello,
How are you?
Today I would like to introduce HOME, a project curated by a good friend and amazing artist, Wai Kit Lam.
First of all, I would like to introduce Wai Kit Lam. Kit is an old friend. We met for the first time in 2009 in Berlin, during an artist residency, and since then we have worked together on many projects. I would like to take this opportunity to thank her for all the opportunities over the years.
Kit is from Hong Kong. She is a brilliant artist and curator, and she recently moved to London. I will talk more about her soon, but if you are curious, you can visit her website.
The project I am talking about, HOME, brings together 25 international artists around the idea of home and a small pillar measuring 115 (H) × 25 (W) × 25 (D) cm.
From March 9th to September 24th, each artist will explore what home means.
Home encompasses multiple meanings for each of us.
You can discover this exhibition online through Facebook, Instagram, the online catalogue and the website.
Let’s take a look at the first five artists and reflect, through them, on what home is.
Please feel free to share your thoughts on what home means to you in the comments.
I have to say, I am discovering these artists in real time, and I am really surprised by the quality of their work. I am truly falling in love with all of them.
The first artist to inaugurate the show was the Spanish artist Joan Vallespir Aguiló, from Mallorca.
For Joan, home is where you feel your deepest sense of belonging — the things that define your privacy.
Patricio Alvarez Aragon, an artist from Santiago de Chile based in Germany, thinks that home is where you feel free — the place where you can do whatever you love until the very last day.
William Wong is a multidisciplinary artist from Hong Kong, based in the UK.
What is home for him? A place whose future you feel responsible for making better.
Hundrich is a German artist and the last participant in this first month of HOME.
His work, I am landscape, is mainly created with pine branches. Through it, he reflects on home as a place where we can withdraw.
This is all for today. I’ll be back on May 26th with the next five artists.
Remember to follow along on social media, and feel free to share what home means to you.
