Flat
Discotheque's
first group show took place in a large open-plan basement flat on Hackney
Road in Bethnal Green, London, over the Bank Holiday weekend in August 2004. In an attempt to
provide a rich context with which the domestic-themed work could engage,
the space was deliberately left in a fully furnished, fully lived-in condition.
Dave Ball, Hannah Brown, Dædalus, Lora Hemy, Jang Young Jo, Birgit Medele,
Ana Moring.

"In
a world jam-packed with stuff for the body, house, car, government
or corporation, one can only survive through selective awareness.
Paying full and serious intellectual attention to everything from
the microwave to the beer-can cosy simply isn't possible. And yet,
to completely forget how we have shaped and been affected by the
various things that surround us amounts to ignorance. Many of the
modern products we regularly overlook - plastic trash bags, to take
a more trivial example - have dramatically altered the nature of
our society. They are parts of the honeycomb we've built to make
life easier, cleaner or better-looking. Because these objects envelop
and reflect us, they deserve to be analysed and discussed."
[Damien Cave - Salon, 6 Aug 2002]
