    About this event

    Softhouse is a space for works of a common nostalgia - an appreciation of material just being material, natural over synthetic, non-gendered objects over masculinely machined shelf goods. We want to have these conversations of what it means to be making or showing works like these in Detroit, where the production line started. How can we reflect on processes and trends that happened since the industrial revolution, be selective, and move forward critically. How do we return the sense of care and meaning to objects when having the resources and urgency to work efficiently with tools and machinery.

    Emphasizing our daily relationship with material, Softhouse aims to facilitate rethinking of objects. Rather than strictly polished, finished, rigid structures - instead focus is placed on items that are humble at glance but develop personalities and mature with time and interaction. Lumber, clay, metal, fur are used in familiar ways and left with minimal finish. Here, the storyline is favored over the end result, and in both observational and sensual encounters of the works, a softening occurs - their individual identities collectively blurring lines, ideals and functionalities.

    Exhibiting Artist and Designer:

    Donut Shop, Evan Fay, Zhihao Guo, Laith Karmo, Josephine Mette Larsen, Li Chen, Michael Neville, Ato (Kwamena Takyi) Ribeiro, Hayden Allison Richér, Austin Swick, Colin Tury

    In order to provide a safe opening experience, please note that only a maximum of six people are allowed indoor at all time. The outdoor side walk will be for waiting and short socializing after viewing, both socially distanced. Face masks are required to enter the show.
