Description [en]

What do we bring home? A bag of groceries, a book from the library, moisture from a wet umbrella, a new chair for the living room, a friend? What else makes it home with us? Perhaps an idea, a new word, or the affects of an unpleasant encounter. In Little Petra, Lisa Tan displays a specific armchair that for her became an unexpected carrier for the questions above. The making of the work was triggered by a racist incident in a Swedish design store that prompted the artist to reflect on objects of desire and belonging, as well as the privilege to exist in a home, which not only provides shelter but also the possibility of rest and genuine well-being. Next to the armchair on display are printed take-out brochures that invite the biennial’s viewers to “take one home.” Please do so.
