In This House

This group show in the McCormick House will feature new sculpture and a site-specific curtain by acclaimed artist, writer, and curator Michelle Grabner along with collaborative works by Michelle Grabner and Brad Killam, and works by Paula Crown, Tony Tasset, and James Welling. The show’s title stems from an advertisement for prefabricated housing designed by Mies, for which the McCormick House was a prototype. The 1955 brochure states “In this house, architecture and technology have combined to contribute a new dimension.” The works in the exhibition expand on this intersection and celebrate the formal languages that inhabit domestic structures. Materiality, repetition, color and spatial order will be featured and minimally distributed throughout the volumes of the McCormick House living space.
