Bungalow is pleased to present Ledgers & Dwellers, an exhibition by Berlin-based American painter Elizabeth Ravn (b. 1994, Brooklyn).
About
Elizabeth Ravn’s subject matter is domestic, intimate, social, seasonal, and architectural– capturing spontaneous moments in her personal life. For the exhibition Ledgers & Dwellers, the artist focuses on the continuously morphing topography of Berlin and the interior lives of its individuals.
In the exhibition, construction sites and scaffolding serve as studies of division and compartmentalization, in contrast to the more organic forms and gestural brushstrokes Ravn uses to paint figures and landscapes. Inside and outside of living quarters, partners, friends, animals and construction workers intermingle, calling attention to notions of coexisting and cohabitating in domestic urban space.
At Bungalow, Ravn constructs a wall dividing the exhibition space into smaller intimate rooms. The wall is truncated, offering fragmented glimpses of paintings and the detached heads of neighboring visitors. The arrangement reflects upon the close ties between space and self, encouraging viewers to take advantage of this altered privacy and peek over to the other side.
