Points to Remember when Buying a House 1970

Curator: Jeffery Edwards' screenprint, "Points to Remember When Buying a House," presents a grid of disquieting domestic details. What’s your immediate take? Editor: Stark and unsettling. The flat planes of color and simple geometry contrast oddly with the implied decay—a broken window, rising damp. It’s almost like an architectural diagram gone wrong. Curator: Exactly. Each image points to a potential hidden cost, a disruption of the ideal home. The recurring motifs - the pinks, greens, the geometry - feel deliberately unsettling. Editor: The composition does push you to find relationships. Take "Greasy Marks." The chair, divorced from a table, suggests absence. Is this a comment on failed domesticity, or a warning about the fine print? Curator: Perhaps both. Edwards is tapping into a shared anxiety, the cultural myth of home ownership versus the reality of upkeep and potential failure. The symbols resonate deeply. Editor: The flatness only enhances that tension. It abstracts the real, making the problems seem both universal and strangely detached. Curator: It invites us to contemplate the psychological weight of these very common problems. Editor: A fascinatingly bleak checklist.
