House of Words

In May 2018, Ariel De Lion presented to New York, House of Words, primarily based on De Lion's theory, IntentioMagnetism.
 
House of Words is a building encrypted with treasure map–style hints that connect it to 10 other Bushwick community locations and three World Wonders, infusing intention into every element of the facade created by sculptor Khalil Chishtee. The staircases showcase a permanent text-art exhibition by artist James Arthur Vogel and a life-size typography portrait of Ariel De Lion by painter Chloe Louise Smith using De Lion's quotes known as #arielism. 


 

 In the inaugural exhibition, curated by Jennifer Tone, 24 artists imbue the space’s seven galleries and rooftop with a sense of play and exploration, as well as ethological reciprocity and an emerging architecture of the human spirit. 

 

The residential building has an architectural and decorative aesthetic that harmoniously blends Bushwick’s factory style with Manhattan’s industrial swank. ‘Unfinished’ floors create an art-studio vibe that is inspiringly juxtaposed with polished apartment amenities. 


For more information about the gallery, its arts programming, and its residencies, or to request an interview with the author, curator, or artists, please visit http://www.houseofwords.nyc.
