For Habitat at The Contemporary Austin – Jones Center, Sosnowska’s largest monographic exhibition to date at a U.S. museum, the artist has created an immersive, two-floor installation of dystopic domesticism. In the building’s lobby, Untitled, 2015, a gargantuan plantlike structure, pushes upward and outward, the illusion threatening to outgrow its glass containment. Beyond this, the entirety of the first floor features Antechamber, a labyrinthine series of constructed, angled walls, zigzagging through the building and reconfiguring the space. The interior resembles a confounding series of hallways, but with a twist: the walls are adorned with hand block-printed wallpaper depicting the delicate cream contrasts of an eighteenth-century floral Georgian Knot pattern.
