February 9 – March 2: Saturdays and Sundays 2-5pm

(This show remains on view by special appointment) 

This site-specific work "reinstalls" the many doors of 6018North to create a physical questioning of borders and their ability to organize space, ideas, and people. The door is a powerful part of theatre of regulating access – a servant to solitude and privacy, an invitation, chance or permission for entrance, a barrier to strangers or intruders. On the other hand, a door that’s been unhinged from its frame enacts a certain abandon of the normative space and normative behavior in such a space. In the process of pushing a dilapidated mansion to be even more physically dysfunctional and yet more open, Vlatka Horvat creates a metaphor for the possibilities and/or limits of artists' intentions to affect the social relations of those who participate within public and private space. Door to Door continues the artistic interventions created for 6018North’s Home:Public or Private? exhibition to question how to make public what is often considered private.

Vlatka Horvat (born in Čakovec, Croatia) makes works in sculpture, installation, drawing, performance, and photography. Her projects often focus on re-arranging or reconfiguring objects, built space, and social relations at play in it. She lives and works in London, and was recently  an Open Studio resident at the Hyde Park Art Center.  

Door to Door, 2011/2013 is created in cooperation with www.in-time-performance.org/
