To coincide with the opening of DKUK’s refitted salon designed by Sam Jacob Studio, the Studio presents a selection of their recent experiments in architecture and representation.
About
Through a series of objects that are part 1:1 model, part real thing, Make It Real suggests that the designed world is in part fiction – and that these fictions are deeply embedded in the real world. Through t-shirts printed as building facades, soil pipes gilded in 24 carat gold, chairs made out of putty and more, the show explores design’s ambiguous position between imagination and reality.
DKUK has been operating in Peckham for two years. At DKUK Salon, paying clients get their hair cut in front of art. Realised by artist/ hairdresser Daniel Kelly, DKUK provides a platform for engaging diverse audiences with contemporary art in the welcoming environment of a hairdressing salon.
