The concept of the group show was to engage in the discourse of dissecting minimalism through construction and destruction of art objects and their materiality. The artwork was both mocking and reverential. It ranged from; simply playful and inviting work like E.T. made from a lamp projecting the shadow of a pair of scissors onto the wall with two tacks that created eyes, to the considered and delicate drawings of Daniel Price, to cinematically engaging media work of Damiano Bertoli. Where you are taken into the quietly serene, richly decorated show homes of what I presumed were Los Angeles. One engrossed you gradually you start to notice discrepancies in the visuals, a shark sticks out of a storage box. Some shots are sterile and still hallways with bold stairwells. Others pan around a bedroom, clothes strewn; you start to question why these anomalies weren’t corrected. Then moved quickly onto a bold piece of modernist furniture. Most importantly I appreciated the show was trying to throw up questions, not answers in a time when we always need to know the answer.
