For the exhibition RSVP, the gallery is filled with abstracted furniture- like forms that serve as display cases for objects. Barbara Bloom invites the visitor to experience the rooms as an exhibition space and also as the semblance of a home – one filled with imagined historical guests grouped around a piano, toasting at a table, conversing on the sofas, browsing in the library, playing cards, etc. One might think of the exhibition as a visit to a party in this home unaffected by time and space. We can eavesdrop on conversations between improbable combinations of figures who never actually met in real life.
