The Prop House: A Collection of One Million Objects Tour with Curators Lisa Baldissera and Paul Wong and Exhibition Artists

Stop by Griffin Art Projects for a curator’s tour and artist walk through of The Prop House: Collection of One Million Objects. The Prop House: A Collection of Over One Million Objects offers an opportunity to celebrate and explore this extraordinary collection with the public for the first time. The objects were sourced everywhere, from second hand stores to garage to estate sales deepening in complexity and materiality. In turn, this archive has been returned to the world as objects of imagination, inscribing film and theater scenes with affective qualities through their presence, from romance to horror to police procedurals. The Prop House invites visual artists’ responses, re-situating selected collection objects at Griffin on one last journey of imagination before the Prop House closes. Embracing archive, hauntology, nostalgia and the imaginary, the re-assemblages reflect on the sovereign life of objects, particularly poignant in an era of the single use and discarded.  The artists, Cathy Busby, Germaine Koh, Jason Payne, Jay Senetchko, Charlene Vickers, Parvin Peivandi and Bagua Artist Association, will lead a walkthrough of their installation process at Griffin Art Projects. Curators Lisa Baldissera and Paul Wong will explore the nuances of curating a project that invites artists and the public to consider the diverse array of ephemera, film memorabilia, and various historical objects housed at Mount Pleasant Furniture. This exhibition also features several off-site projects located in the Mount Pleasant area, including a film project by Paul Wong, presented at the Mount Pleasant Community Screen and a window installation and project at Mount Pleasant Furniture. The Prop House: A Collection of Over One Million Objects is presented in collaboration with grunt gallery, Mount Pleasant Community Screen, Mount Pleasant Furniture and On Main Gallery.
