Interior Effects: Furniture in Contemporary Art pays tribute to New England\u2019s history of furniture manufacturing
\nthrough an exploration of the unique capacity of interior furnishings to embody cultural traditions and to shape
\nthe spaces within which we live and work. From studio furniture to artworks ranging from sculpture to video,
\nInterior Effects centers on furniture and its design as psychologically charged metaphors.<\/p>\n

The exhibition combines the work of 10 New England artists who collectively explore themes including tradition,
\ncommunity, gender, and the emotional impact of design. Tracie Pouliot\u2019s oral histories and Liz Shepherd\u2019s new
\ninstallation directly link to two furniture companies that were based in Gardner, Massachusetts\u2014The Chair City.
\nPouliot\u2019s books record the stories of former Nichols & Stone employees, while Shepherd\u2019s installation uses midcentury
\ndesigns produced by Heywood-Wakefield to examine these objects as iconic, regional, and gendered.<\/p>\n

The furniture of Judy Kensley McKie, Yuri Kobayashi, and Leah K. Woods exemplify the booming studio furniture
\nmovement in New England, which has applied extremely high technical and aesthetic standards to the creation of
\none-of-a-kind furnishings. The designs of these three female furniture makers each distinctly play with traditions
\nand the symbolic potential of form.<\/p>\n

In other works, furniture is used to explore institutional ethos or personal character. Celeste Roberge\u2019s Miniature Stacks
\nare mini-chair monuments to artists such as Joseph Beuys and Meret Oppenheim. Katarina Burin pays homage to Fran
\nHosken\u2014one of the first women to graduate from Harvard\u2019s Graduate School of Design\u2014and her furniture designs.
\nThe color saturated scenes in Sarah Malakoff\u2019s photographs of interior spaces make the viewer aware of furniture as far
\nmore than a benign, functional object in a domestic setting. Sandra Erbacher\u2019s pairings of office furniture examine the
\nway design reflects a corporate philosophy. And Samantha<\/p>\n

Fields\u2019s cast porcelain chair legs animate stitched sculptures<\/p>\n

that humorously invite feminist consideration of class, the female body, and domesticity.
\nInterior Effects is the second in a series of FAM exhibitions that link contemporary art practice to our region\u2019s industrial
\nheritage. In 2016, FAM presented Plastic Imagination, and in 2020, will organize a show on the theme of paper.
\nThis exhibition will be organized by Curator Lisa Crossman and Terrana Curatorial Fellow Candice Bancheri. It will be
\naccompanied by a Learning Lounge that will provide historical examples of furniture produced in Gardner thanks to the
\nGardner Museum.<\/p>\n
