The Asian tour of The Abandoned Boudoir is presented by Asialink in partnership with aestheticalliance*.
The Abandoned Boudoir is an Australian art and design exhibition devised as a ‘pop-up’ display for selected international art and design festivals to be installed in a hotel room, anywhere in the world. Existing hotel artwork, bed linens, objects, furniture and lighting in the room are removed and replaced by the following art and design mediums; Multimedia and sound, photography, glass, ceramics, jewelery and textiles and fashion.
During the display period, the installation will undergo subtle changes to reflect the moods of its ‘inhabitant’, functioning as a ‘living’ exhibition for visitors to inspect. With reference to ideas of transience; displacement; glamour; mystique, sex, sensuality, love, hate, home, travel, fear, observation and the overall issue of surveillance and privacy.
