Closer Look: Investigating the Every Day brings together works that spring from the quotidian – the objects, environments and cultural surroundings that we fail to see because they are so integrated into our daily existence. Construction and urban renewal, garbage and newspapers, rap music and firearms. The artists included take a closer look at the everyday and ask why things are as they are?
