Bubble In Progress: Do Not Disturb exhibition was the result of a collaboration between three artists living in three different countries: Leslie Johnson (Sweden), Smriti Mehra (UK) and Chinar Shah (India). The exhibition focused on the real estate market and the increasing focus on investment versus home. How ideas of the home as a personal refuge contrast with idea of home as investment and bestower of social status. This chasm also in the strange linguistic syntax of real estate sales are realized as seven sculpture, video and text works. The exhibition was planned and worked on via regular skype calls to discuss the work in progress. Some of the work was made in each country and then brought together and finished 10 days before the opening date. The intention of the artists was to create collaborative work which could not be identified as the work of one or the other artist. The works in the exhibition, in dialogue with each other, function together as an installation. A central, by size, work consisted of two slides. Positioned back to back they also resemble a graph. One slide has an impeccable golden upholstered ladder but with a broken slide of scrap materials. The other slide has a broken scrap ladder but with an impeccable golden upholstered slide. The work thus comments on financial mobility. A video is seen through the refraction of a motorized plexiglass chandelier with texts such as “Financing at the speed of light”. The video sound and images are created by downloading from internet stock photos and videos for real estate marketing. A computerized voice sings about sales and the home. In the window of the gallery hang 9 images, also downloaded from the internet of idealized apartment rooms with mainly white furnishings and décor. The images are laser cut into beige Masonite boards and below each one is laser cut the name of a shade of white paint, which is painted in that shade. Another work is ” Bronze Village” referencing models of housing developments with names which aim to acquire status of historically significant references. Within a vitrine there is a “popsicle stick” home, a child-like hobby project, cast in bronze, with pieces of plastic Lego construction panels leaning against the side of the bronze structure. “Protest” has embroideries of idealized “red cottanges” and other dream homes assembled as protest placards. A golden light in the room as well as revolving text of Bubble in progress projected on the wall complete the installation. The accompanying catalogue is a coloring book with images further analyzing the real estate bubble. The motorized chandelier was sold to the city of Gothenburg and the video. The video “More Love, More Joy, More Mortgage” has subsequently been screened in festivals or video platforms during 2018 at MA Teesside University, Middlesbrough, UK Passive Activists, Moose Space, The Hague Sharjah Film Platform
