SUMMARY:Kitchen Corner
DESCRIPTION:Samuel Roy-Bois\n\n\n\nTopham Brown Memorial GalleryJanuary 8\, 2026 to March 11\, 2026 \n\n\n\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, January 8\, from 6–8 PMArtist Talk: Saturday\, January 24\, from 1-2 PM \n\n\n\n\n    \n        Exhibition Publication    \n\n\n\nKitchen Corner is the title of a Depression-era photograph by Walker Evans. While not adirect source for the works assembled here\, its rediscovery during the preparation of thisexhibition proved resonant. Evans’s image operates as a portrait of a context articulatedthrough objects. Documentary in nature\, it renders a modest interior where things—a frayedrag\, a slanted broom\, a patinated chair—assume the status of characters seemingly asking tobe observed\, “objects in a moment of pause between use.”1 What is striking\, however\, isthat Kitchen Corner withholds the very signifiers conventionally associated with a kitchen(no sink\, no stove). In this disjunction between title and referent\, the photograph underscoresthe complexity of representation and the capacity of objects to exceed their functionalidentity. \n\n\n\nThe works in this exhibition similarly dwell in thresholds of recognition. They positionobjects\, sculptures\, and bodies in states of indeterminacy: what reads as structure functions assupport; what appears fragmentary gestures toward wholeness; what suggests immediacyproves resistant\, even opaque. Produced over the course of eighteen months\, these workswere not initially conceived as a unified installation. Their subsequent convergence\, however\,revealed affinities of form and sensibility\, generating conditions for thought and affect thatexceed the sum of individual pieces. \n\n\n\nThe works composing this exhibition invite tension into the domain of the built environment.Each references architecture obliquely: through the evocation of house foundations\, theabstracted language of the maquette\, or vestiges of timber-frame construction. Despite theirvaried scales and spatial logics\, they converge around a shared problematic: the negotiationbetween the self and the possible. In their oscillation between recognition and estrangement\,they foreground the contingencies of agency and the fragility of ideals. Failure\, unfulfillment\,and speculation emerge not as deficiencies but as constitutive modes of experience\, openingonto a broader meditation on how subjectivity is continually shaped\, unsettled\, and redefinedthrough material encounter. \n\n\n\n1 Richon\, Olivier.
