In a world
jampacked with stuff for the body, house, car, government or corporation,
one can only survive through selective awareness. Paying full and serious
intellectual attention to everything from the microwave to the beer-can
cozy simply isn't possible.
And yet, to completely forget how we have shaped and been affected by
the various things that surround us amounts to ignorance. Many of the
modern products we regularly overlook -- plastic trash bags, to take a
more trivial example -- have dramatically altered the nature of our society.
They are parts of the honeycomb we've built to make life easier, cleaner
or better-looking.
Because these objects envelop and reflect us, they deserve to be analyzed
and discussed.
8 Conceptual artists, who came together in 2003 to share ideas, have formed
a group named Discotheque, and choose to engage with 'the domestic' for
this their first show together.
