pairs
september 28, 2018
rare art gallery, dublin
PAIRS is a group exhibition that aims to explore the power of dual relationships through visual art. in other words, each artwork will be displayed - in tandem - with another artwork. no pair will look the same, and each pair will be unique. but why..? by ‘pairing’ an artwork with a specific similarity to another, we are exposed to certain features of the art that we may ordinarily overlook. the power of their unity becomes a spectacle in its own right. each ‘pair’ will enjoy a unique relationship, bound via the aesthetic or conceptual, through form or through narrative.
