DUDD LITE, a collaboration between design collective Dudd Haus and The Future Perfect gallery, presents over 130 artist-designed nightlights on view through June 26. Curated from nearly 400 open-call submissions, the exhibition transforms a mundane household object into a canvas for small-scale sculptures made from stained glass, wood, sea shells, ceramic, cotton, and more. Featured artists include James Burial, Chris Wolston, Nicholas Holmes, and Mikei Huang, among others.
This exhibition matters because it reimagines a utilitarian object as a site for creative expression, bridging functional design and fine art. By inviting a wide range of artists through an open call, DUDD LITE democratizes participation and highlights the vast creative possibilities of everyday items, offering a fresh perspective on how art can inhabit domestic spaces.
