Curatorial & Exhibition Project
The Kitchen Sink Project is a curatorial and exhibition project between Naomi Even-Aberle and her husband Nik Aberle who live in Rapid City, South Dakota USA. Both are taking inspiration from the phrase ,"everything but the kitchen sink". The phrase originated around the early 1900s and the first print reference can be found in 1918 in the newspaper The Syracuse Herald. The expression became popular during World War II, where it was said that everything but the kitchen sink was thrown at the enemy.
As artists, the couple believes that creating space to nurture, grow, and share the process and work of other artists is important. To this end, the couple is curating an exhibition space within their very own kitchen. Unlike the original idiom, the project strives to leave nothing out - even saying yes to the kitchen sink.
