Contributed photo by EWU "Domestic No. 3" (seen above) is one of many projects that will be on display during the "Domestic Legibility" exhibit, which runs from Jan. 14 through Feb. 18, 2016.
In a news release, the Eastern Washington University Gallery of Art announced it is holding an exhibit titled "Domestic Legibility" featuring artists Aaron Trampush and Bradley Gunn.
The exhibit will run from Jan. 14 through Feb. 18, 2016. There will an opening reception Jan. 13, 2016 in the EWU Gallery of Art at noon.
"Domestic Legibility" incorporates a variety of ephemeral and often unseen domestic artifacts reclaimed from demolished homes. The show develops an evolving conversation between the Gallery of Art and domestic spaces of the Pacific Northwest.
A catalogue of objects, texts and images are displayed along the outer walls while architectural installations interact with the gallery's light, volume, aromatics, sounds and textures.
Thoughtfully choreographed, each fragment contributes towards expressing subliminal characteristics of typical domestic spaces: a hallway, an attic, a threshold and a kitchen.
Gunn is an artist whose current practice enriches everyday experiences by exploring the process of interpreting the palimpsestic layers of our spatial environments, the release stated. Often incorporating found objects and decommissioned spaces, his expressive and richly textured works capitalize on the empowering sense of discovery.
Working in a great diversity of mediums, he focuses on unique and thoughtful projects. Home-schooled for the majority of his youth, Gunn earned degrees in fine art and architecture at Washington State University and now resides in Seattle.
To date he has received regional design awards, earned his inclusion on competitive artists rosters, successfully completed multiple public art projects and is a co-founding director of the Seattle Demo Project.
Trampush, a co-founding director of the Seattle Demo Project, creates component based sensory artwork that emphasizes the sense of touch and evokes emotional responses. His work is developed by extensively researching user interaction and is informed by the perception of materiality and context.
Gunn and Trampush have collaborated on various installations and exhibitions for the past five years.
Together their work explores the terrain between the palimpsestic layers of daily life and the subliminal resonances of physical interaction. As artists with architectural backgrounds their work routinely engages space, memory, touch and texture.
Admission into the exhibit is free.
