Our homes contain us, but they are also within us. They can
represent places to be ourselves, to recollect childhood memories,
or to withdraw into adult spaces of intimacy; they can be sites for
developing rituals, family relationships, and acting out cultural
expectations. Like the personal, social, and cultural elements out
of which they are constructed, homes can be not only comforting,
but threatening too. The home is a rich theme running through
post-war western art, and it continues to engage contemporary
artists today - yet it has been the subject of relatively little
critical writing. Art and the Home: Comfort, Alienation and the
Everyday is the first single-authored, up-to-date book on the
subject. Imogen Racz provides a theme-led discussion about how the
physical experience of the dwelling space and the psychological
complexities of the domestic are manifested in art, focusing mainly
on sculpture, installation and object-based practice; discussing
the work and ideas of artists as diverse as Louise Bourgeois,
Gordon Matta-Clark, George Segal and Cornelia Parker within their
artistic and cultural contexts.
