In this exhibition, Iles delves into the chaos of the current moment by exploring paradoxical themes of devastation, wonder, precarity, power, dereliction, glory, and possibility in the present moment. The installation, which includes paintings, sculptures, videos, and projections constructs immersive spaces. The work is precariously installed, gesturing toward the fragility of the world right now.
Artist Walkthrough on Saturday, April 11, 2:30pm. Gillian Iles will share insights into the ideas behind the work and the dualities at play.
Join Rui Pimenta, writer of texts about the exhibition, for a walkthrough on Thursday, April 23, 6:30pm. Full details can be seen at the link below.
