EDITION I 2022 Venice, CA

A DOMESTIC ART SHOW

REAL ESTATE FANTASY CORE

curated by Noemi Polo

January 19th 2022 - AMOR CORP presents SALON, a site-specific collection of art and design curated by Noemi Polo in a domestic environment featuring works from both local and internationally established artists and collaborators.

Set in a newly completed residential project by SCI-ARC grad collective, PENTAGON, this exhibition occupies Milwood Avenue, arguably one of the most architecturally relevant residential neighborhoods in both Venice and Los Angeles.

On public view from Tuesday February 1st through February 14th, 2022, SALON features over 100 objects from more than 50 artists and collaborators- a collection resembling that of an imaginary persona/ae that would potentially inhabit the home.

Understanding PENTAGON’s focus on new, speculative approaches to building design, pragmatic inquiry into context and location, SALON plays as both a showroom and conceptual art exhibition, including works that are in direct conversation with the home’s unique design through their textures and forms.

Some notable works on view include: Carolyn Bessette and JFK JR. archival inkjet print from the Untitled 2020 series by Jordan Wolfson; blu and rossa resin tower by Italian master Gaetano Pesce; a pair of foam red and white punching bags by Cali Dewitt in collaboration with Proforce Sport; a “framed” cowboy photograph and performance art piece by Noah Dillion; urethane rubber vessels by Rick Owens’s right hand Rich Aybar - R.A. Workshop; a photography installation displayed alongside custom wood furniture by Johnny Le; acrylic on canvas paintings showcasing Frankie Grande and Mickey Rourke by Cody Critcheloe a.k.a. musician and director SSION; a new series of fried photography prints by queer socialite and artist Dese Escobar; a custom sculptural display of clothing by YEEZY designer and YE styling consultant Greg Ross; a HEC sculpture made exclusively for SALON by Praying accompanied with a commissioned animation by Ky Newman; a presentation of the HPL laminate and lacquered wood side-table by Lagos/London based Mowalola; and the unveiling of new recycled resin vases, WOBBLE, by BLOBB designer Sofia Elias, among others.
