Donald Rodney In the House of My Father  1996-7 Photograph on paper on aluminium image: 1220 x 1530 mm on paper, print In the artist’s open hand is a sculpture made from sections of his own skin. These were removed when he was having treatment for sickle cell anaemia. Rodney uses autobiography to address larger social and political issues from the perspective of a black British man. He also deals with more personal issues of identity, family and home. This small house has been seen as symbolising ‘the fragility and the near-futility of Rodney having to live within a structure hopelessly unable to sustain itself’.

Jockum Nordström “Several of the sculptures take the form of architectural models, things we usually see as pristine, idealised objects. In Nordström’s treatment, utopian architectural schemes meet the grubby, compromised reality of our everyday world. The beauty of his sculptures – and they really are beautiful – is that we can simultaneously see in them the appeal of the mathematically perfect dream and the cut-and-paste actuality of the way things happen in physical, economic, political and social contexts – that is, in the human world we inescapably inhabit.” from here

Robert Gober (b. 1954) Dollhouse wood, pebbles, wallpaper, plastic, ceramic tiles and painted embroidery cloth 29¾ x 36 x 36in. (73.7 x 91.4 x 91.4cm) Executed in 1978. “The catalogue states incorrectly that Christie’s was informed by the artist that this work was the first dollhouse he made as an art object. Mr. Gober has informed us that the dollhouse was commissioned and made as a work of carpentry and not as a work of art. The following modifications have been made to the dollhouse: striped wallpaper in the lower rear first floor room has been overpainted with white synthetic emulsion paint; wallpaper has been removed from the second floor bathroom; an item of furniture viz. a bidet, has been taken away from the house. These modifications were not accomplished by Mr. Gober.” (from here)
