Mini Exhibition...'The Look of Laughter and Forgetting'

Mini Exhibition: February Monday 14th - Wednesday 16th 2011.
The Look of Laughter and Forgetting is an exhibition of work by Eoin O'Dowd, Erica Hoyne, Lisa Heavey, Lisa Shaughnessy, Stephen Toomey, Gillian Browne, Laura Byrne and Joy Bliekendaal.

This exhibition explores the related ideas of absence and forgetting, and what it might mean to look at objects in the process of being forgotten. It The Look of Laughter and Forgetting contains an argument, it is that all objects will share this common fate.The Laughter of the title may therefore be the Laughter of realisation or acceptance or of self-defeat.

This show consisted of works by each artist and a collaborative video piece. This video piece was a projection of a slightly delayed feed of the gallery space. It was projected onto the main wall of the front room as you enter the gallery space.

This exhibition was a huge success, opening night, the gallery was buzzing. We had used the works to create an atmosphere so as the audience could act, react and participate in the show.
