April 20–June 24, 2018
Adjustments Agency and Jessica Kwok present Housewarming, the inaugural installation of domesti.city. The exhibition features work by nine international practices. No representations of buildings will be on display. All works are for sale.
domesti.city is a store for architecture located in an apartment in Manhattan’s Chinatown. It investigates potential roles for architecture in a moment marked by rapid technological, socioeconomic, environmental, and political change. Situated within the increasingly blurred boundaries between the domestic and commercial, domesti.city aims to expose and challenge the precarious structures supporting such practices, locating the exhibition not just as a space of representation, but also as a site at the nexus of these very transformations.
Housewarming features works by Alan Ruiz (US), Allan Wexler (US), Beirut Architecture Office (LB), Bless (FR and DE), Christine Bjerke (DK), Colleen Tuite (US), Cooking Sections (UK), Matilde Cassani (IT), and Parasite 2.0 (IT).
Alongside the exhibition, the space features a bookstore.
Photographic intervention by E.M. Joseph.

Lighting design by Jelisa Blumberg.
