On the threshold of everything, inside and out
10th August 2011 Runs till the 20th of August Curated by Liam Slevin. www.liamslevin.info Kevin Tuohy // Seamus McCormack // Mary Cooke // Sharon McCarthy // Matthew Slack If a door is to be viewed as a conceptual object it can be read as a point of duality, a transitory object that is belonging to both inside and outside, hostility and hospitality, being and non-being, claustrophobia and agoraphobia, public and private and all the space in between. Artists were invited to consider this with regards to their own practice, and to examine and contextualise this dichotomy within their own practice. One rule applied, artists must use a door (actual/image/section) as their source material. Liam Slevin is TACTIC's first curator. Liam, a graduate of Limerick School of Art & Design, is a multidisciplinary artist based in Cork. Prior to his involvement with TACTIC he was the founding director of Cork Contemporary Projects which, among other things, ran The Space, on the South Mall, Cork. Liam will be curating a series of four consecutive exhibitions. |
