About the Item
Hub, London Apartment is from the artist’s ongoing Specimen Series, in which he creates 1:1 fabric replicas of domestic items, including appliances from his previous New York City apartment. These objects are a way for Suh to explore his memory of the NYC apartment he occupied from 1997 to 2011. By calling these works specimens, Do Ho Suh relates this practice to a type of scientific study or display.
In his Specimen Series, Suh extracts individual elements such as light switches, door handles, electric panels and appliances, detaching them from the context of the overall space. By isolating these objects, Suh encourages viewers to focus on particular elements in greater detail and reflect on one’s frequent and tactile relationship with these forms. The replica of the larger objects, such as the stove and refrigerator, highlights their relationship to the body and how these objects are themselves portraits of a sort while also grounding and identifying domestic space.

- Fading pink (#3)By Hernan BasLocated in New York, NYHernan Bas is best known for his narratively rich scenes that feature a wide-range of references spanning art and literature, popular culture, kitsch, the occult, religion, and mythology. Across his works, Bas seeks to defamiliarize everyday experience through humor, revealing the surreal and absurd lurking beneath the mundane. In conceiving this flamingo sculpture series, Bas was inspired specifically by the 19th century novel ‘Against Nature’ by Joris-Karl Huysmans. In the novel, the main character, an astute dandy of epic proportions, decides to cover a pet tortoise's shell with ornate jewels in order to see how the light would glimmer on it as it slowly treaded across his carpets. Bas imagined a fictional character of his own, a "Florida Dandy," who would naturally want bright pink flamingos as pets. The ball and chain keep them from flying away and simultaneously constrain them to a certain territory. . . . Fading pink (#3), 2016-2017 resin, feathers, galvanized metal buoy...Category

STATEMENT In site-specific exhibitions, public art commissions, collaborative and individual projects Jo Yarrington has used varied combinations of glass, waxed surfaces, found artifacts and experimental analog photography to investigate the way we perceive – searching for, experimenting with and developing throughout a sensory-based vernacular. Her mostly translucent materials function as physical framework and symbolic membrane. Light, both natural and ambient, provides a kinetic or time-based element to her work. Scale and the integration of architecture are also pivotal components. In the 6-part installation for the two-person exhibition Illuminated, Yarrington continues her interest in the connections between vision, sound and language. In Mute-ability: Compositions 1 – 6, her title for this light-based comprehensive work, she combines the words mute and malleability. The work focuses on found piano rolls, a music storage medium, originally conceived as coded notations or ‘note control data’ for music produced in pneumatic player pianos...Category
