Days of our Lives

Sofia Boubolis, Marta Capilla Urbano, Arthur Cordier, Tatjana Erpen, Helen Anna Flanagan, Martin Parr, Tom Putman, Luca Rubegni and Valentino Russo

Curated by The Balcony

At Susan Bites, The Hague, The Netherlands

February, 26 — March, 14, 2021

Days of our Lives borrows its title from an American sit-com also parodied in Friends. Also known as DAYS or DOOL the series is one of the “longest-running scripted television programs in the world” with over 14.000 episodes aired since it premiered on November 8, 1965.
Openly inspired by days of contemplation, the exhibition evokes the domesticated nature of our daily environments, the feeling of captivity, uncertainty and hysteria of our time. Without the need for a direct reference or mention to the current situation, the works on display echoes to the eternal epistemological spin-off of the pandemic.
 

The exhibition is curated by The Balcony, artist duo composed of Arthur Cordier and Valentino Russo.
