ARTexhibitionLink

Art Exhibition Link is a non-profit organization that was founded by Art Historian Barbara Goebels-Cattaneo. It introduces American Artists to Europe and European artists to the USA, organizing several exhibitions annually. The aim of ArtExhibitionLink is to put contemporary art in the widest possible context.

At ARTexhibitionLink Gallery UNO opens Brooke Barnett's show 'Fancy'. In her work the artist examines the term 'home' and turns her attention to the details that remind her of the domestic. Multilayered lace tablecloths become fragile and complex. Pillows burst with feathers arranged on the outside of ornamented fabric and the fabric becomes a canvas for the 'real' image of home. Here the inside is torn to the outside and the truths and tensions of the home are drawn to light. The symbols of former shelter become irritating objects that no longer fit nicely into a cosy room. Instead they must appear in the white cube of the gallery.
