About the exhibition

Chambres d’Amis: IKEA is the second project by Office Baroque in a series of three, developing alternative models for online exhibitions. It builds on the legacy of the 1986 in situ exhibition "Chambres d’Amis," curated by Jan Hoet in the private homes of 51 families in Ghent (Belgium). “Chambres d’Amis” was a profound critique of the white cube exhibition space. This online version, takes place entirely on the pages of the last in print edition (2021) of Swedish retailer IKEA, in a renewed attempt at embedding art in domestic spaces. It features 61 contributions by 39 artists.
