Why do we feel compelled to give a present to our mother-in-law when we have spent the whole year bickering with her? How can we hide our disappointment at a gift we already know is destined for resale come January? The gallery’s artists and a few guests explore this ambivalence through works that question our rituals of consumption, our social conventions and the sincerity of our generous impulses. Between irony and tenderness, their works offer an offbeat look at those moments when politeness and authenticity rub shoulders in a precarious balance.
