'Housewarming' is a pure and informative home exhibition. Its range of objects -- from the delicately perforated spiral design of the spoon to the incredibly thin and somewhat irregular shape of the charcoal plate, explores a few aspects of the civilized world. Presented at Craft Ontario in Toronto, the event runs from January 19th to March 2nd.
The idea of the home is central. The range of pieces presents a meaningful look into the myth of the house. While some items explore the cultural value of the home and its traditions, others seek to call attention and challenge stereotypical imagery.
The home exhibition will, without a doubt, be of interest to many. Eclectically exploring the mundane aspects of the day-to-day routine, 'Housewarming' is able to highlight differences and engage in cultural discussion.
