The Minutae exhibition, curated by Linda Shevlin and showcasing the work of Oisín Byrne and Suki Chan, runs in Roscommon Arts Centre until March 31.
The work of Oisín Byrne and Suki Chan illustrates the very human dilemma of establishing our position in the world. Where Chan’s film takes on themes of human presence in relation to physical structures, from the industrial to the domestic, there is a sense of looking outwards towards an unfathomable vastness.
Meanwhile Byrne’s ‘Universe in a Box’ explores the possibilities and limitations of containing this vast and boundless, expanding universe within a finite geometric form.
Linda Shevlin’s artistic practice is concerned with the relationships between the built and the natural environment.
What concerns her art practice also filters through to her curatorial selection, where notions of time and place and our inhabitation in the world come into play. In this show, Shevlin selects work that is visually arresting, with an emphasis on pieces with a strong aesthetic.
Minutae runs until Wednesday March 31 at The Gallery, Roscommon Arts Centre, Circular Road, Roscommon.
