A group of artists, architects and life walkers contemplate and study the possible dimensions of living. How art could intervene in this mundane issue of everyday life? Could art provide “solutions” or something beyond “solutions”? Through the abstract idea of “House”, artists, architects, life walkers and students open up dialogues on visual arts, architecture and the art of living, and propose 13 dimensions of living.
“The Dimensions of Living: A House is” will showcase 13 “houses”. Each of them an artistic exposition of mundane issues, which invites viewers to re-imagine the possibility of housing and living in the everyday life.
