Composed of both a site-specific installation and a large-scale video projection, this exhibition navigates the porous boundaries among art, design and architecture, intertwining the conceptual, aesthetic and functional nature of the objects that compose the everyday scenarios we live in.
Artistic Director Pedro Cuperman describes Segal’s work in “Domestic Vicissitudes” as “shapes in constant motion that oscillate between the interior and the exterior, between diverse realities, a superposition of materials that transfigure themselves as they encounter and profane each other: the inside devours the outside and vice versa. They are at once individual forms and superpositions, linked in a constant exchange of frontiers formed by texts which, as they coexist, offer us their own version of art and, more importantly, of art’s metaphors. And they offer us something else: their own version of the world that surrounds us …”
