Exhibition summary

Valentina Stieger's exhibition examines the commodification of private life and the influence of lifestyle design on our personal spheres. Through a series of works spanning painting, sculpture, and graphic elements, the exhibition critiques the tension between individuality and societal conformity within the aesthetics of contemporary consumer culture.

Curatorial context

The exhibition 'Furnished Desire' by artist Valentina Stieger interrogates the intersection of private living spaces and the broader economic structures that shape them. By engaging with omnipresent lifestyle paradigms, Stieger highlights intimate moments of the everyday, positioning her work within the complex interplay of personal identity and societal norms. Her practice moves across the boundaries of painting, sculpture, and graphic arts, creating objects that reflect the visual languages of advertising, fashion, and industrial design. The works invite visitors to consider the hidden economic criteria governing domestic environments. The exhibition is accompanied by a publication developed in collaboration with author Julia Kubik, providing further context to the themes of the show.
