DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Open House\, on view April 1 - 21 at the Ohio Ar
 t League Gallery\, welcomes visitors to a setting that is seemingly familia
 r\, yet infinitely strange. 
\n
\nThe show presents new work from artists A
 llison Buenger and Colin McDonald.  These friends and graduates from the Oh
 io State University were brought together by curator Amy Koenig because of 
 aesthetic and conceptual parallels in their work.  In sculptural and video 
 installations both artists utilize household objects - constructed and re-p
 urposed - as entry points into a larger dialogue about the implications of 
 domestic life.  A mutual interest in the mundane binds the artists' work as
  a joint examination of habit\, habitat\, and habitant.  
\n
\nCommon objec
 ts appear throughout the gallery.  From a wall of hand-rolled toilet paper 
 to columns of lamps balancing from floor to ceiling - the unseen becomes ap
 parent and purpose disappears.  "I'm really asking a question" states McDon
 ald.  "How can the objects and materials of modern society be presented in 
 a way that calls for a renewed sense of discovery and exploration?"  
\n
\n
 Buenger sees household objects "as an interface between people and where th
 ey live." She believes "drawing attention to objects by changing the materi
 al composition and drastically eliminating or altering an object's function
  can illuminate the symbiotic relationship between occupier and space."
