Make Room is excited For the inaugural exhibition of special project [Room] at Make Room, artist Terence Koh unearths his hidden coffee shop “KOHFEE“. The initial experience will be hosted on Feb 27 Tuesday 5-8PM and March 2 Saturday 12-4PM.
Drawing inspiration from Gaston Bachelard’s seminal text ‘The Poetics of Space,’ the second and physical iteration of [Room] seeks to engage with the intersection of the confinement of the skin to the body and the transformative dynamics of art within an intimate confined space. This physical interaction of [Room] aligns with Bachelard’s conceptual framework, particularly his exploration of ‘topoanalysis’ and ‘intimate immensity.’ By utilizing an intimate and curated gallery space, [Room] aims to examine how artists articulate and challenge the boundaries of corporeal confinement within their practices. The series will showcase a selection of artists and site specific installations that collectively navigate the nuanced relationship between the human body’s physical limitations and the expressive potential inherent in confined spatial contexts.
Additional experience time lots will be announced via newsletter, website and instagram @makeroom.la.
