The pun of the title is all my doing. I have no shame.
Nobody could think of a title more fitting - to a show of ten artists who arguably are making interlaced conceptual works - it really made sense.
All artists that are graduates of National Art School, and similar ages, meant our similar experiences could unite us. The issues particular to the twenty somethings that we are has formed our views of the world. No other generation has suffered the impending ecological doom and been faced with finding a solution, annexed with a guilt trip from previous generations. No other generation has seen such a huge technological dependence develop into addiction. And it is our generation most likely to endure the confusing paradox of loneliness in this social media age. These are the conditions that make us, and it has formed our opinion into a generally distrustful, ie the closer look, and general info hungry- ie "the whole".
The artists I was lucky enough to share the space with are Louise Morgan, Emma Kirby, Meaghan Potter and Thomas Quayle. I encourage you Google them if the photos are anything to go by...
For those unlucky few who could not make it to the show at The Corner Cooperative, presented by Dear Henri, here are a few images of the glory that did ensue.
I had a fantastic time, the gallery was a great location, the ladies were the friendliest pair, and the work they did was a huge help. Thanks Micheala and Sicilia, the time was a dream...
