Haushalten By Matthew Rose

Haushalten is German for keeping house, and in this piece, the house is not what it seems to be: constructed of 1950s advertising, the woman of the house shows off her newest gadget, a giant thingamajig, or if you like, a...dohickey, gizmo, gismo, or a thingamabob - on an ancient Roman pedestal.

The surreal qualities of this good housekeeping moment - the blue sky blows through the gadget - points to terribly sunny days ahead from America's recent past.

Haushalten is also part of the A Kick in the Kunst series exhibited in Berlin at Galerie Rossella Junck.
