Feia is pleased to present Did You Have a Good Day?, a solo exhibition by Tadashi Adamson and the inaugural presentation in the Feia Flat. Opening on May 30th, the exhibition introduces the Feia Flat as an intimate environment where art, furniture, objects, and domestic space converge, foregrounding practices that blur the boundaries between aesthetic experience and everyday living.
Borrowing its title from a familiar question exchanged between partners, friends, and family members, Did You Have a Good Day? examines the emotional architecture of ordinary life. The phrase functions as both ritual and inquiry, a repeated gesture capable of carrying tenderness, distance, obligation, exhaustion, or care. Adamson’s work lingers within these subtle shifts, attending to the ways intimacy is built – between both people and their things – through repetition and shared space.
Across a new body of paintings and mixed media works, Adamson explores memory and feeling through fragments of domesticity. By focusing on shifting light, interiors, casual conversation, and traces of human presence alongside a cast of characters born from the Japanese concept of “tsukumogami”, his compositions resist fixed narrative. Instead, Adamson creates environments of emotional recognition where viewers encounter moments that feel simultaneously personal and collective, familiar and uncanny. Recognizable spaces become psychologically charged, suspended somewhere between comfort and estrangement.
This sensitivity to lived environments extends into the curatorial framework of Feia Flat itself. Conceived not as a conventional white-cube gallery but as a hybrid setting for contemporary art and collectible design, Feia Flat emphasizes how objects shape emotional and physical experience. The Flat brings together fine art, functional forms, furniture, and design pieces within a shared domestic context, encouraging viewers to consider how aesthetics operate within everyday routines and modes of inhabitation. In Did You Have a Good Day?, Adamson’s work exists in direct conversation with this ethos and aligns with Feia’s interest in spaces that are lived in as much as viewed. Rather than separating art from daily experience, the exhibition invites a more intimate relationship between object, environment, and viewer rooted in presence, ritual, and sustained attention.
As the inaugural exhibition at Feia Flat, Did You Have a Good Day? establishes it as a platform for artists and designers whose practices engage intimacy, materiality, and the evolving language of contemporary domestic culture.
