With Domestic Bliss, we explored the complexities and intricacies of domestic collaboration. Here, five couples who share not only their daily lives in relationship, but also a proclivity for creative involvement were placed in a weekend marathon that invited a sense of partnership and community. Most every partnership involves the daily logistics of working as a team – but often, our creativity is more our own, more personal, more interior. Domestic Bliss brought that interior realm to the challenge of collaborating as the process of the exhibition unfolded in a weekend of close quarters. Each couple worked for nearly 40 hours to conceive, design, debate, and build a collaborative project. The result was a cumulative product that had a memory, a message, and a life in an exhibition space that, quite fittingly, existed in a home.
