The combined weight of human-made objects now exceeds that of all life on Earth. To our own detriment, “more” has become synonymous with happiness and success. A return to the simple essentials and appreciation for subtlety in the objects around us offer an antidote to a cultural mindset defined by wastefulness and instead embody an act of care—for the world itself and one another.
playinghouse presents the group exhibition Greenhouse to showcase the work of designers and artists who cultivate the richest abundance in their creations not through excess but rather by evidencing their respect for the objects they produce and the intentionality with which they make them. Careful attention to materiality weaves together with nature motifs and proof of the maker’s hand in the works on view, drawing out the plenitude to be found in restraint.
