}KIN CODA was a group exhibition comprised of boxes 12 through 25, at the Fritz Hansen showroom in New York City. My piece "Household" was chosen for the show flyer and was shown among works by Brendan Ravenhill, Fort Standard, Chen Chen and Kai, David Weeks, Joe Doucet, UM Project, Nightwood, Silva Bradshaw, Kiel Mead, Iacoli + McAllister, Patrick Townsend, MN*LS, Brian Balderston and Jennifer Garcia.
Each Keepsake Box is a sculptural assemblage of found, recycled and surplus materials [that houses] approximately 40 original 'mementos' contributed by its family of artists. Possessing nostalgic warmth yet employing contemporary forms of expression, the boxes provide a new and exotic understanding of ordinary things.
"...these aren’t your typical rectangular receptacles for safeguarding valuables; instead, they’re eye-catching creations that house ordinary things. The container imbues the contents with significance, rather than the other way around."
-Belinda Lanks, FastCo.
