Things for Homes / Homes for Things

Can a sculpture survive in the home without being domesticated into just another objecta door stop or something you hang your hat on? What are the civic duties we assign to sculpture today, in comparison to the post-war nation-building and reassertion of civilisation? At the heart of Things for Homes / Homes for Things are conversations about our social relationship to objects and the spatial relations these depend on. Prevetts enquiry is intimate and gentle, occurring as it does on a domestic scale in the homes of people who dont own art, and perhaps have never cared for it that much before. Without the expectations and politics that grand publicness entails, it embraces instead the potential for social connection through making and giving of sculpture to strangers.
