Damien Flood / Sofia Hultén / Jirí Kovanda / Jonathan Monk &aamp; Douglas Gordon / Roman Ondák

Opening Reception: Thursday 1 September, 6 – 8pm

O begins with the ontological conundrum or hide and seek of being and being seen. In the work of Damien Flood, Sofia Hulten, Jiri Kovanda, Jonathan Monk & Douglas Gordon and Roman Ondak, O explores the play with the viewer, the process of viewing and the thing viewed. The object is elusive or under threat. It is undermined seeks a surer footing. In a line from the author describing his only work for film, called Film, Samuel Beckett describes “non-being in flight from extraneous perception breaking down in inescapable self-perception ”. O finds this mercurial quality in works that stubbornly resist simple definition in a generation of artists.

Following this exhibition will be Model, a solo exhibition of new work by Niamh O’Malley, opening on 6 Oct.
