Home, A Fire: Group Exhibition at Cheng-Lan's Corner Explores Domestic Spaces and Emotional Weight
Cheng-Lan's Corner is showcasing Home, A Fire, the initial segment of a two-part exhibition curated by Junni Chen, based in Hong Kong. This exhibition highlights artists who explore themes related to furniture, domestic items, and home architecture, illustrating how living environments carry emotional significance, ambivalence, and built-up tension. Featured works include Laila Tara H's Takht (Backgammon), inspired by her observations of revolutionary protests in Iran from her bedroom, and Sofia Salazar Rosales' They Ask to Stay, which addresses objects removed from commodification and forced displacement. The exhibition is currently on display at Cheng-Lan's Corner, with a follow-up segment planned.
