The house that we live in is present and intertwined with our everyday life, beyond its function or material existence. It is simultaneously giving home to our emotions, memories and state of mind while sheltering our bodies and belongings. Any given event in our life is associated with a time and place but the house does it so effortlessly that we become completely unaware of its vital presence in the moment. Through their architecture the places we live in blend the boundaries of tangible and intangible and render an imagination of the world that is personal and distinct.

The series of installations presented here challenge the limits, scale and expression of the spaces we inhabit. Each piece poses a dialectic challenge that transforms both the contained (our perceptions) and the container (architecture). We want to reveal curios moments of life that are oppressed, denied or simply ignored while inhabiting a space. By acts of augmenting, twisting, inversion and enacting we will question the accepted status of a simple dwelling and stretch its presence from here and now to imagined and possible.

So we invited artists and asked them a simple question: “What have you always wanted to do to a house?”
