Christopher Williams’ exhibition ‘Heimarbeit Adapted for use IKEA Küchen Ensemble’ is on view at Galerie Gisela Capitain through January 27, 2024, marking the artist’s 11th solo exhibition with the gallery.
On view are six hand-painted signs, four new photographs in full colour, five new wall treatments, two new films, one new sculpture, one new publication in full colour and one unique arrangement.
As stated in the brochure of the exhibition:
‘This IKEA Küchen ensemble, this set, this arrangement of props. Organized for the production of
conventional forms. These forms contribute to a typological study of the photographic image.
Frontal, overhead, 3/4 shots. The building blocks.
Simple pictures, regional pictures, ordinary pictures, vernacular pictures, conventional pictures, normative pictures, average pictures, representative pictures, utilitarian pictures, domestic pictures, redundant pictures,
pre-existing pictures.
It is in the shadow of this domestic redundancy that the process of reassembly becomes possible.’
