Rich Brilliant Willing’s first solo exhibition of limited edition work debuts a collection comprised of a series of personal storage pieces inspired by international air-shipping containers and what RBW identifies as a transient nature in the contemporary idea of home.
With Pro Forma, Rich Brilliant Willing borrows from the archetype of globalization and transposes it onto icons of the home: the credenza, the coffee table, the bookshelf, side table and bar cabinet. By stripping the container shapes of their original context and the furniture objects of an overly specific function, a dialogue of abstraction emerges.
Reception: Friday, March 18 from 6-8 PM
Open: March 18 – April 3, 2011
11 AM – 6 PM, daily
Location:
