Maeve Brennan and Sophie Jung
opening 31 August, 6pm at A plus A Gallery, Venice
curated by School for Curatorial Studies Venice
A plus A Gallery and School for Curatorial Studies is excited to present an exhibition featuring works by the multidisciplinary artists Maeve Brennan and Sophie Jung.
From August 31 to October 31, visitors are invited to engage with a plurality of layered narratives in Maeve Brennan’s and Sophie Jung’s work through moving image, photography and sculpture. The exhibition brings together two practices that are both invested in an archaeology of “things”, uncovering the complex histories and narratives that objects carry and produce, exploring how the diverse perspectives placed upon them and expectations of them can be dismantled and reinformed.
Revealing the objects' relationship to our social functions as they relate to use, manipulation, monetary, symbolic and historical value, this show proposes to unveil and reveil all the mechanisms and magic tricks these objects perform to both represent and produce the worlds that we inhabit.
