About
About the work
Taking inspiration from social history and the evolution of housework, High on the Summit Ridge provokes storytelling and memories while questioning the economy around housework and care. Gabecare's installation encompasses complex ideas around women's work, tourism, and land ownership. Their work treads a playful line between nostalgia and curiosity with abstracted nods to the home, for example a kitchen sink where a film can be viewed down the plughole. The exhibition toured Scotland in the custom-built Travelling Gallery, allowing audiences to appreciate and discuss the experimental and thought-provoking power of sculpture on their own doorstep.
About the artists
Gabecare is a collaborative art project by Rachel Adams and Tessa Lynch which investigates the domestic mess of 21st century living. They take their name from little known American inventor Frances Gabe, who devoted much of her life to designing and building the world's one and only self-cleaning home. Exploring the unpaid labour that goes into housework, Gabecare draw our attention to who carries out the care and maintenance at home, while at the same time managing to embrace and even celebrate the continual messiness of our daily lives.
