Description
Rebar is a collaborative group of creators, designers and activists based in San Francisco. Rebar’s work ranges broadly in scale, scope and context, and therefore belies discrete categorization. It is, at minimum, situated in the domains of environmental installation, urbanism and absurdity.
Rebar was formed in 2004 to design and construct the Cabinet National Library - a functioning library built out of a file cabinet in the middle of the New Mexico desert. The Cabinet National Library, as the name might imply, is the national library for Cabinet magazine, a non-profit arts & culture quarterly based in Brooklyn. Rebar was founded by Matthew Passmore, John Bela, Jed Olson and Judson Holt, all of whom built the library.
Rebar’s work is fundamentally motivated by the desire to animate the arbitrariness of what French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu calls the doxa: the uncontested acceptance of the daily life-world and the adherence to a set of social relations we take to be self evident. Rebar’s projects are intended to engage social, ecological and cultural processes as they unfold materially in space and time.
