Domestic Apocalypse

Armed with brushes and sponges, buckets and towels Claudia Borgna and Jenny Kane of Domestic Apocalypse will hand clean your event and purify your conscience of thoughtlessly disposed single use plastic. These everyday invisible gestures are basic and simple, yet soul cleansing. Dressed in apocalyptic domestic outfits, the artists are the bearers of our culture’s dirty domestic conscience, holding in their bodies, rooms, dishes the effects of the convenience of throwing away.

Artists’ statement: We are tired of witnessing the relentless production of waste, of waste overflowing even in sight of the art gatherings of the most socially conscious culture producers of this generation. At the Getty, drinking tea out of “stylish” plastic cups, we, Jenny Kane and Claudia Borgna, decided we’d had it! Enough of waste generated by unsustainable community gatherings, we have a plan now! We will wear our domestic outfits, equipped to wash dishes!
