Brief Description:

Original Creative Work/Artefact: ‘Tentacular II’ (Installation, 2010)

This exhibition presented the work of five painters whose work re-examines the philosophical and theoretical underpinning of painting, drawing upon gender, otherness and inter-disciplinarity in order to present methods for rethinking and redefining the task of painting. Each artist was invited to present one work that, through extended discussion, would begin to create a ‘conversation’ with the other works in the exhibition. The connections and conjectural relations interweave across each other in order to challenge the viewer/audience to (re-)assess the position or conditions within which painting currently finds itself.
