Ménagerie à trois: A diverse exhibition of artworks from three UK artists presented together for the first time at the Bookcube Gallery.
The birds, beasts and characters that migrate through Michael Hill's drawings and paintings have an innocence and naivety that recalls childhood nostalgia but a bizarre and slightly surreal nature that creates a peculiar tension within his work.
Fiona McKillop's performances to video speak of control and personal testing, allowing external factors to manipulate the movements of her body. Unsettling and sexual, the actions are at odds with their environment.
Richard Proffitt collects, hoards and chances upon shards of wood and trash, forgotten drawings, childhood toys and kitschy ornaments. Objects are gathered, re-selected, altered and juxtaposed in a place where meaning collapses, new myths are determined and horror and stupidity reign supreme.
The Bookcube Gallery is located at the Rathmines Bookshop
Ménagerie à trois has now ended.
The Ménagerie à trois exhibition catalogue will be available soon. Details to follow.
