A Hug From The Art World is pleased to present Big Beautiful House, an exhibition by Johannes Albers.
"It is absolutely impossible to express what it means to live in today's world-a world that is a blinding mystery to me. Every day, every minute, a million-trillion things simply happen. Things are being shaped, connected, deformed, disconnected, and lied about. It is totally inconceivable to build a home in this vast mess. Something to hold on to like a metaphor, an image, or a story. Something to keep, take care of, and hold close. But if I had to-if someone would put a gun to my head-I would put colorful oversized plugs in a space and call it "Big Beautiful House". And even then, after I've said it, built it, and looked at it and years will have passed, it will all remain a blinding mystery. Probably." - Johannes Albers
"Hugs + Plugs = Power" - A Hug From The Art World CEO
"Power = Knowledge" - Michel Foucault
