Keep Six Contemporary

April 24- May 17, 2009

Opening reception: Friday 24, 6-11pm

Catherine Telford’s work is concerned with how ideology shapes and trains the body infusing it with historical forms of gendered selfhood. Through the process in making objects Keogh deconstructs the concept of femininity into a repertoire of gestures. Her work employs parody, oddity and exaggeration through materials, process and gesture to engage in destabilizing cultural and localized formations of femininity.

Saturday April 18, 6-11pm, Juliann Wilding performance and DVD launch!

Please join us on Saturday April 18th for a special evening of performance and the debut of screening of SHADORIBBON DVD. Insert artwork by Fiona Smyth

Wilding’s current work is fixated on themes examining biology vs. control, Wilding employs spectacle and controlled chaos to investigate the constructs of our reality.
