Point of Contact Gallery is hosting an opening reception for Domestic Vicissitudes, an exhibition by Analia Segal on January 16th during Th3 (The Third Thursday). The opening reception will take place from 6-8pm and is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. Domestic Vicissitudes is on view January 16 – February 21, 2014.

Comprised of both a site-specific installation and a large scale video projection, this exhibition navigates the porous boundaries between art, design and architecture intertwining the conceptual, aesthetic and functional nature of the objects that compose the everyday scenarios we live in. Artistic Director Pedro Cuperman describes Segal’s work in Domestic Vicissitudes as “shapes in constant motion that oscillate between the interior and the exterior, between diverse realities, a superposition of materials that transfigure themselves as they encounter and profane each other: the inside devours the outside and vice versa. They are at once individual forms and superpositions, linked in a constant exchange of frontiers formed by texts which, as they coexist, offer us their own version of art and, more importantly, of art’s metaphors. And they offer us something else: their own version of the world that surrounds us…”
