(hi)story labor(atory) is a collaborative environment for fine, applied and healing arts objects and projects. One can purchase high-concept hand-crafted utilitarian and decorative clothing and objects, receive healing treatments, and observe the artists at work, as well as attend the occasional formal performance or ritual. In addition to the creations, installations and presences of the three proprietors, sequential presentations involving favorite comrades and co-conspirators will appear.
(hi)story labor(atory) provides a model for and assistance in creating a personal, comprehensively-integrated environment. (hi)story labor(atory) counts among its inspirations historical interdisciplinary production communities such as the Wiener Werkstätte, in which all facets of quotidian living were carefully considered and addressed to comprise the Gesamtkunstwerk-- “total artwork” -- existence as a wholly unified work of art, all its components consciously designed.
(hi)story labor(atory)’s fusion of utilitarianism and aestheticism is conjoined with ideals of environmental and social sustainability; desires to make beauty, healing and elegant personal ritual more accessible to more people; and a general inclination towards the “revolution of everyday life,” to be achieved through a sense of purpose, community, craft and experimentation.
