Moss, in association with the Groninger Museum, the Netherlands, presents HOMEWORK domestic totems and tableaux by Studio Job April 18-23, 2007 Ex Ansaldo; via Tortona 54/56 (Zona Tortona); Milano HOMEWORK was created by Studio Job in 2006-07 as a collection of 7 heroic compositions in bronze, glass, and wood, offered in a limited edition of 5 pieces, exclusive to Moss.

Part domestic utility – part heroic sculpture, these precious hand-wrought common household objects – including fully-functional cooking pots, stools, lanterns, and coal bins – magnified to exalted proportions, rendered in polished bronze, and placed upon aged wooden pedestals like sacred statuary or palatial historical busts, define the term ‘oxymoron’, and cast to the winds the traditional approach to both sculptural as well as design practice.
