Waiting Room (c4 Projects)

Press Release

“Nathan Gulick’s exhibition Waiting Room conflates the disparate intimacies of two kinds of spaces – the professional waiting room and a storage area in the basement of Gulick’s childhood home in the Midwest of America. With Waiting Room, Gulick wishes to reason with the vehicles in which we preserve our stories, and imbue objects, photographs, and other personal signifiers with importance.  Further, he seeks to make apparent the strategies at play in the everyday spaces in which we may encounter others with stories of their own.

In a waiting room, one might find themselves in limbo with a group of strangers awaiting a diagnosis or information relating to one’s interior self - an intimate yet public space, where the signifiers of a broadly generic kind of design are employed.  On the other hand, in the personal space of a storage room that for many years collected abandoned personal detritus and memories, one encounters a different psychological and spatial experience - a private room, not shown to guests, filled with photographic evidence of a life once lived. Each of these spaces gathers a collection of stories unknown:

What do we share with these objects imbued with a personal history? Is each object as mute as a group of intimate strangers? Maybe it is the perceived patina and age to the photograph - or the wrinkling of the skin, the clothes we wear - that signals time past. Or are these cues lost hopelessly - disappearing and misunderstood in personal biography, and cultural specificity? In Waiting Room, Gulick will seek to explore and problematize these connections and relationships further.”
