HOUSE TRIP is the title of ART FORUM BERLIN’s special exhibition 2007, curated by Ami Barak, Artistic Director of the Art Department of the City of Paris and former director of FRAC Languedoc-Roussillon. His exhibition, featuring up to 40 artists in an exhibition space of approximately 2,000 sqm, focuses on the intimate relationship between art, architecture and design resulting from a growing artistic interest in modernism and investigates the blurring boundaries between private and public. Ami Barak: „The artists in the selection deal with questions of “home sweet home”, of living rooms as private landscapes and of architecture as desire. At the same time an interesting move takes place while something personal becomes public and vice versa.”
