Michael Rocco Ruglio-Misurell‘s solo exhibition Object 55 was on at New York’s Stephen and George Laundry Line, which ran July 29 to August, 2016.

Located in a backyard of Ridgewood in Queens, the installation uses laundry drying racks as a foundation for hanging sculptural materials and paintings using resin, wood, and fiberglass. The so-called “über-construction of domestic disarray” plays with the everyday uncanny of household labor in the exhibition space that is “literally on a laundry line”.

Object 55 combines pop culture with entropic forms in what the press release calls a staged happening that mimics this interior work, along with its external surroundings, including the fire escapes of nearby buildings: “Giving a sense of deflated materiality, Rocco offers a dissociated reference to the material function and seeks moments outside the studio when containers meet their limits and the boundary between inside and outside blurs.”**
