Domestic Aesthetics begins with a question: What aesthetic sensibility guides what we choose to have around us and see every day? The home is where our aesthetic choices become part of everyday life: artworks, objects, images, photographs, and other presences.
For the exhibition, individuals from the curator’s network in Bassa Sabina were invited to select a single object from their personal collections, one with which they share a particular aesthetic and personal connection.
For one day only, these objects leave their homes and come together in the exhibition space, making a temporary shift from the private to the public realm. What is shared is not merely the object, but the relationship each person has built with it: the pleasure of looking at it, memory, attachment, familiarity, or simply the pleasure of having it nearby.
Ultimately the exhibition invites visitors not to judge, but to look and reflect—on the choices of others and, perhaps, on their own.
