The family is a rare topic in contemporary art. Burning Down the House: Rethinking Family engages with the family as a tradition, idea, and lived reality. The exhibition untangles some of the crucial problems, beliefs, and contradictions that the family as an institution embodies, bringing together works by forty artists―ranging from the mid 1970s to the present, as well as selected works from the collection of the Kunstmuseum St. Gallen―in which notions of family, and representations of the stereotypical, bourgeois family in particular, are problematized.

From the Back Cover
The family is a rare topic in contemporary art. While feminist artists have thematized their roles as women, caretakers and mothers, a critical engagement with the topic of the family, one that goes beyond mere representation, has largely been absent. Burning Down the House: Rethinking Family untangles some of the crucial problems, beliefs and contradictions that the family as an institution embodies. It takes a close, critical view of family constructs across geographies, histories, and scale, providing a rare overview of contemporary art practices connected to this topic, while problematizing the notion of the family and complicating its stereotypical, bourgeois representation, which has informed our visual culture for centuries.
