No Place Like Home

“There’s no place like home” said Dorothy as she clicked her heels and hoped for the return to the comforts of her own bed.

This autumn ArtHouse Jersey at Capital House plays host to an ambitious multi-disciplinary exhibition featuring the work of acclaimed UK, international and Jersey-based artists that explores the concept of ‘home’ in the 21st century. The exhibition also sees ArtHouse Jersey extending far beyond its gallery walls, with intriguing, playful and participatory artworks around the Island.

We may all yearn for a Home, but this can be charged with political, social and economic realities. Histories and territorial borders fracture and shift, rules change, ecological and climate changes and mass migration can all impact on the intimate and incredibly fragile idea of what we call Home.

Curated by Rosalind Davis and Laura Hudson, No Place Like Home brings both existing and newly commissioned works by artists including Rachel Ara, George Bolster, Sasha Bowles, Justin Hibbs, Ana Cvorovic, Peter Liversidge, Lindsay Rutter, Will Romeril and Lisa Traxler. This timely, Island-wide show invites you to rethink our encounter with ‘Home’ on a subtle and cosmic journey across Jersey and beyond.
