At Brooklyn Museum
Media: Installation, Furniture, Product, Crafts
Pied-a-Terre, an installation piece by Brooklyn-born artist Toland Grinnell, explores issues of consumer culture, excess, and luxury. The work originally comprised an apartment for two that folded out into thirty-four hand-crafted matching traveling trunks, each with its own unique function, from master bedroom to kitchen sink. The Brooklyn Museum installation of twenty components includes a stove, a sink, a tableware canteen, a wine rack, and recycling containers. Taken together, the elements of this elaborate sculpture explore the nature of consumerism and the power of excess.
