Jorge Pardo: House

Jorge Pardo: House

By Bonnie Clearwater

95 pgs/2007/Paperback

Jorge Pardo creates extraordinary works in the form of recognizable objects that cross the boundaries of art, design and architecture, often defying genre and definition. Pardo’s work investigates the aesthetic experience, speculating on what separates art from the everyday.  In this first US museum survey, over 60 sculptures, paintings and installations from the 1980s to the present were presented as actual rooms of a house, providing a conceptual framework that was at once familiar and disarming.
