Howard Arkley: The Home Show is a striking exhibition catalogue that presents Arkley’s vibrant vision of Australian suburbia, commissioned for the 48th Venice Biennale in 1999. The book chronicles Arkley’s transformation of the Australian Pavilion into a kaleidoscopic domestic space, using his signature airbrushed technique to elevate everyday architecture into psychedelic spectacle. It illustrates Arkley’s argument that the suburban home is a potent symbol of national identity, ripe for aesthetic and cultural reappraisal. With essays, installation photographs, and critical commentary, the catalogue instructs readers in the interplay between high art and popular culture, revealing Arkley’s deep engagement with pattern, color, and consumer iconography.
