International exhibition of modern
art, Brooklyn Museum, 1926:
Under the Société Anonyme’s patronage Katherine Dreier organized a modern art exhibition which
puts model rooms at his epicenter.
Combining modern interior design
with the latest development of the
artistic avant-garde, this section
was mounted in order to convince
the public that modern art was not
restricted to the institutional sphere
but could easily enhance a domestic
interior.

If You Lived Here…:
This three parts exhibition curated
by Martha Rosler held at the Dia Art
Foundation in 1989 was stressing
the impact of SoHo’s gentrification.
Between the research project and
the group show, this exhibition encapsulated workshop, public meeting, art and non-art materials but
also a shelter for homeless people.
As Elena Filipovic puts it: the show
was “delivering an implicit critique
of the host institution located in the
then-flourishing art market district
of SoHo and it connected its immediate exhibition surrounding with a
broader systems that made homelessness and human precarity thrive.
