In the Tribeca district of New York, the unmissable Jacqueline Sullivan Gallery has just unveiled its new display. Entitled “In Praise of Shadows”, the exhibition runs until January 11, 2025 and presents a set of contemporary and historical domestic objects of infinite poetry.
A fan of domestic staging, gallery owner Jacqueline Sullivan multiplies relevant and poetic exhibitions in her space in Tribeca, New York. Until January 11, 2025, the esthete presents his new exhibition “In Praise of Shadows”, which brings together objects and furniture from various eras and universes, questioning the play between shadows and lights in our daily domestic environments. As is often the case, the gallery owner draws her inspiration from literature. Here, Jacqueline Sullivan indeed echoes the work Praise of the Shadow dated 1933 and signed by the Japanese writer Jun'ichirō, who analyzes Japanese aesthetics and the aesthetics of darkness.
Conceived as a realistic setting that could certainly be inhabited, this installation demonstrates Jacqueline Sullivan's keen taste for contemporary design as well as vintage pieces. Among the notable works to be found here, a textile by Rooms Studio used as a bed cover, a splendid tapestry by Wretched Flowers, but also, obviously, numerous lighting fixtures. Signed Joe Colombo, Cini Boeri for Artemide, Ingo Maurer, Josef Frank and Eileen Gray. Domestic works designed in metal, ceramic, washi paper, raffia, leather or lacquer, which all testify in their own way to the particular sensitivity of their creator. Highly inspiring.
