Addressing the spatial tropes of domesticity and familial dynamics, WE-ARE-FAMILIA will transform Open Space into a “living room” of seamlessly integrated furniture, art and design including new works by Holly Stevenson, Yoh Nagao, Peter Kienzle for Superette, Jesse Brown, Marc McAndrews, Hisham Bharoocha, Amy Rupple, Chris Yormick, Nightwood and SEEE. WE-ARE-FAMILIA will also debut its Keepsake Box No. 5 of 25, entitled “Video Box” (designed by Fabian Bedolla and Jennifer Garcia), an elegant assembly of found objects and discarded furniture fragments retrofitted with a video touch screen to showcase films by Parisian director Olivier Babinet and Brooklyn, New York’s video artist Rashaad Newsome.
Opening night guests are invited to enjoy family style BBQ in the gallery’s front yard, refreshments by Beacon’s local micro-brewery, Keegan Ales and street projections after dark.
Visitors from New York City can reserve a $45 all-inclusive day pass for 2-way transportation via school bus, a DIA Beacon tour and free BBQ. For more information and to reserve a pass e-mail rsvp@we-are-familia.com
