The Way Things Also Are by Libby Black featuring works by Maryam Safanasab, AJ Serrano, and Nicole Shaffer is generously sponsored by Suzanne Hellmuth & Jock Reynolds, with additional support from Sam Tripodi & Matt Rolandson, and In-Kind support from Small Works.
Black takes inspiration from late conceptual artist David Ireland's home, archive, art practice, and legacy to both reveal and propose unseen narratives within the House's domestic spaces and collection. Black unearths the women in Ireland's archive; offers her own queer/lesbian framework for the House; makes visible Ireland's often overlooked, early figure drawings, never before exhibited; and creates space for three rising artists to respond to them.
Black shares with Ireland a deep interest in common domestic objects such as dishes, brooms, and chairs. Her sculptural works are to-scale recreations of these objects made of paper, pencil, hot glue, and acrylic paint. She places these in still-life arrangements, creating hybrids that mix the real and the imaginary.
To highlight the artists' common interest in everyday objects, at Black's request, The David Ireland House is bringing back Ireland's much loved Broom Collection with Boom, 1978/1988, which will be on loan from SFMOMA for the duration of Black's exhibition and then beyond to the end of the year.
