Inspired by Clara Cebrián’s reflection of the mind as a house, House Warming presents the artist’s home-studio as a living organism.
One that warms, breathes, moves, nourishes.
The experience embraces Clara’s worldbuilding: lines that un-straighten into doodles, structures that resist hierarchy, and a way of inhabiting space where the everyday and the artistic contaminate each other.
The Installation
The house-studio itself became the set: a hybrid space that holds both the artist’s work and her ways of working. Materials coexisted in playful tension — from a pulley-lowered food platform to handmade plates crafted exclusively for this edition.
Food hung from custom structures, plates acted as narrative artifacts, and the entire environment echoed Clara’s visual language. The result was an atmosphere where creation and domesticity merged, inviting guests to inhabit the living logic of the studio.
In this space, memories overlap like layers across rooms; some visible on the walls, others hidden in drawers, fabrics, or corners.
The Menu
A space with two identities was explored: workspace and home.
Both worlds, embraced their overlap. The warmth, personality and intimacy of a house was infused into food as a transition.
First, dishes rooted in experimentation and process, as if emerging directly from the workshop; later, plates that became increasingly familiar and communal, drawn from Clara’s own memories and culinary references.
For one night, what was once her space became ours.
Artist's Statement
“I keep coming back to this thought where I imagine my mind as a house. Walking through the rooms all the memories are found layered - some you can see instantly standing in the shelves or hanging on the walls, others are inside envelopes, inside carpets, inside drawers.
The feeling is reflected in the house's ambiance, the light, the air and changing landscape through windows. In general I love how houses, communicate aspects of the owners without verbal explanations, in the same way clothings in style does."
