Artist's House

The artist s house is a prism through which to view not only the artistic practice of its inhabitant but also to apprehend broader developments in sculpture and contemporary art in relation to domestic architecture and interior space. Based on a series of interviews and site visits with living artists about the role of their home in relation to their work, Cambridge-trained art historian Kirsty Bell looks at the house as receptacle, vehicle, model, theater or dream space. In-depth analyses of these contemporary examples including Jorge Pardo, Miros aw Ba ka, Danh Vo, Gregor Schneider, Frances Stark, Marc Camille Chaimowicz, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Mark Leckey, Monika Sosnowska, Gabriel Orozco and Andrea Zittel are contextualized by key artists of the 20th century such as Kurt Schwitters, Alice Neel, Edward Krasin ski, Carlo Mollino and Louise Bourgeois.
