For this exhibition at the Raven Row gallery in London, “home” is imagined as a space for social, sexual and political agency, and the “domestic” as a stage on which kinship and self are formed and transformed through acts of love, cruelty and indifference.

  A group of works from the recent past and present has been gathered for 56 Artillery Lane alongside a weekly live programme. Visual vocabularies range from bodily waste and bacterial growth to intimate self-imaging. Sculptural forms make reference to temporary shelter and collective occupation, while films are diaristic, improvised and quasi-fictional. The archive is invoked as a ‘homemaking’ space. The exhibition provides a partial map of the domestic as an unstable zone.
