Room for Lead Pencil Studio

Check it out! Local superstars (Ummm, Stranger Geniuses, Exhibiting artists at the Henry, Rome Prize WinnersNice people) Lead Pencil Studio are currently exhibiting at the Weatherspoon Art Museum at UNC Greensboro.  Here’s the skinny:

“Without Room” (2008), a new work at the Weatherspoon, examines a typical American apartment, but with little of the architecture physically present. Instead, the accumulation of personal material and furniture fills the “room,” pushing outward to its implied perimeters. In place of architecture, stacks of books, music, artwork, postcards and personal belongings define the floor, ceiling and walls. The project, which is modeled after the living space of a Greensboro resident, calls attention to the condition of being contained by architectural enclosures, which define our lives, and addresses concerns relevant to architecture, interior design, phenomenology and installation art.
