Scoop has an Ethical Paywall
New Exhibit at Mary Newton Gallery
A new exhibition at Mary Newton Gallery explores the contradiction of “living in a wasteland of plenty”. Andy Irving’s Random Dictates opens at the gallery on Tuesday 13 October.
Random Dictates is a grouping of objects
linked only by the fact that Irving has designed and made
them. Ideas about architecture and design mix with
aesthetics and art objects to produce an altered space
within the gallery.
“Irving works in the space
between architecture, design, and art” says co-director
Mary-Jane Duffy. “As a result the exhibition is about
functionality, but also about its aesthetics, and using
functional materials to create art.”
“Random
Dictates is a haphazard structure, a planned incoherent
grouping of themes and forms organised with anarchic
clarity. It is the contradiction of living in a wasteland of
plenty” said Irving.
Random Dictates runs until 7
November 2009.
