Combining language from Restoration Hardware’s seasonal furniture catalogues with 20th century Federal Housing Authority lending guidelines, Red Sourcebook examines the parallels between the contemporary language of design aesthetics and longstanding justifications for segregation. The Federal Housing Authority guidelines advised banks to adopt exclusionary home loan tactics in a practice known as “redlining,” ultimately driving segregation and houselessness while allowing white homeowners to disproportionately accrue property to pass down between generations.

A photograph of the Magrittes serves as the point of departure for both...
Reparation Hardware takes up the call of its title as a proposal for the delivery of reparations to Black Americans while utilizing the form of a furniture restoration tutorial to deliver its message. Playing the role of furniture designer finding inspiration in a rustic American landscape, Ilana Harris-Babou examines the impulse to rewrite history with the help of tastefully refurbished antiques.
The artist explores make-up as a traditional mode of self-expression, using it to find a representation of herself with which to face the world.
Hammer has crafted an eloquent and richly layered examination of the artist’s and individual’s role in times of conflict.
