Upcoming Exhibitions in the Municipal Gallery
|
|
‘then again’ an installation by Catherine Delaney;
'Mausoleums of Precious Belongings', photographs by Fiona Hackett
27 January - 12 March
Municipal Gallery, dlr LexIcon
Admission Free
The Municipal Gallery dlr LexIcon is delighted to present these two solo exhibitions.
‘then again’ by Catherine Delaney will consist of an assemblage of unwanted clothes heaped in the corner of the space in Gallery 2. The jumbled heap refuses to follow any unified form. The collection of clothes shifts and moves in unpredictable ways, emphasising the nature of the material. Fiona Hackett’s work explores the spaces of self-storage facilities in this conceptual documentary photography project. The exhibition will include images of these strange spaces as well as portraits of people with some of the items that they are storing.
