Occupied by retro lamps and vintage furniture, Durey's 'Parlor' installation at BAF Gallery comprises a dimly lit living room punctuated by objects of particular significance for Durey: a shabby pillow, a crooked lampstand, the faintly green glass of shattered car windows. Like key props on a film set, each is poignantly linked to a dark tale: an abusive relative, a Holocaust survivor, a fatal car crash. Durey—a former choirboy—teases out their latent microhistories through a series of musical compositions to be sung at a special performance during the exhibition. He describes the lyrics of these songs when performed like “impermanent captions” (in lieu of didactic texts) to the individual objects.
