Rachel Harrison Back to Reviews Rachel Harrison by Geraldine Postel Rachel Harrison, "Should Home Windows" (detail) 1996 The jabberwocky art of Rachel Harrison, often seen in group shows has finally asserted itself in her first solo exhibition at Arena. " As the appropriated title of the show, this subtitle laid out the scientific and random parallels involved in Harrison's installation. How do you secure your house from a hurricane, much less society as a whole. In the front parlor, the storm seems to be about Harrison's own sense of interior design, based on the Home Depot and Bob Vila do it yourselfers of the 90s, but equally reminiscent of the70s "Bonus Room" quirkiness of cul-de-sac America. By redefining the architecture of Arena, Harrison constructed a wall which bisected the main space of the pre-war parlor and created two new rooms.

. The title of my thesis is, 'An Analysis of Dorothy Elmhirst's Promotion of the Arts at Dartington' and by this I mean both visual and applied art, having had to take the decision to leave out the dramatic arts due to the vast quantity of material held in the archive. It is through her privileged upbringing in America that her true influence can be perceived in the regeneration of Dartington Hall, with all it came to stand for in the creation of a new society. Not only are her experiences as a campaigner for social reform through her involvement with the Junior League to be considered, but most significantly, the influence of her father, William C. Whitney, in what was for her his most important role as a patron of the arts.
