THE HOUSE OF THE VERNACULAR curated by Martin Parr- Fabrica Oct 2010

The house of vernacular. uhuh...

 I had the chance to see this exhibition yesterday at Fabrica after I run The Artist Parents Group. It was very curious to see Fabrica like this, I wouldn't thought I was in the gallery, every single room was a little gallery, lovely decorated matching with the people in the pictures and their cultures and traditions. I liked all the rooms but in particular it caught my eye and my thought the room with the babies and toddlers photographs. Strange room, very bright with light carpet, and mint or blue pastel walls. It felt like being in a nursery. It was all quiet, no noise, no screaming, no crying, like if someone had frozen all those babies. Weird feeling. They were all possing, not very excactly cute children, they were quite disturbing actually, nothing pretty, but they were babies and I think just for that they should be lovely? I found the room quite chessy actually and also the backgrounds in the pictures.
