Mon by appt. To Sept 8 On Vulnerability and Doubt
- Andrea Büttner, Cherine Fahd, Brent Harris, Tala
Madani, Linda Marrinon, Archie Moore, Charlie Sofo
and Ambera Wellmann. On Vulnerability and Doubt
brings together works by national and international
artists all variously engaging with questions around
the awkwardness, fragility and humility of the human
condition. The role of the Doubting Thomas, and the
privileging of feeling over the visual, as well as the
role of humour, ‘the minor’ and ‘otherwise’ in relation
to figures of authority are other subjects explored in a
variety of mediums including painting, printmaking,
sculpture and video. On Vulnerability and Doubt also
explores some of the complexities that comes with
artists putting themselves and their work on display,
and the bringing down of one’s guard in the face of
vulnerability and humour. Curated by ACCA’s Artistic
Director Max Delany.
