PRESS RELEASE


New Discretions is proud to present Domestic Amuse, a diminutive group show about wanting to stay home. Not really. It’s probably more about clever puns and world-building. About angels and televisons and paddles and rugs and the perfection of the drying rack. Such brilliant design the drying rack! Let’s put it on a shelf of adulation! But also, don’t forget, your home is a trap. And full of secrets.
