About:

Elements is an exhibition of emerging new media artists from NCAD, presented at The Digital Exchange in Dublin, and curated by Cian Fanning and Enda Mac Nally. The show brings together eleven emerging artists whose work spans an impressive range of media and divergent theoretical approaches. The work presented covers a surprising amount of ground, touching on themes of abstraction, the interactive, gender, transgression, and evoking critical suggestions about cinematic technique, linear narrative and the value of art.
 

The name 'Elements' itself refers to this wide range of approaches to executing and presenting each individuals work. The varying practices here emerge as stand alone creative departures, which don't depend on a common direction for structural support. The significance of this is how despite working daily in such close confines with each other, the artists collectively in 'Elements' have managed to develop distinctive independent oeuvres, setting them apart from both their peers and the wider span of current art practices.
 

The surprising verve of the exhibition extends not so much from a convenient disagreement between the works presented, but from the way in which they dissonantly complement each other. As was intended, the outcome is an exhibition which plays with commonality and distinction, an exhibition which incorporates distinct, in some places even irreconcilable aesthetic approaches and stances. In short, an exhibition which places itself and its viewers between harmony and dissonance.

  artist2426

 

Artist #2426 was confronted by a magical device as a young child. This apparatus was the television and it has provoked and interjected his daily life since. Intrigued by the affects that television has had on our society it was inevitable that his practice would be of consequence. For this exhibition he is abstracting white noise.

Dillon Joyce's work is concerned with intricate colour patterns and light. It shows a deep respect for nature and the magic therein. His obsession is sky rotation and the sea, loving water and finding wonder in the way it works. His aim is to be obscure, wonderful and radical in muted fashion, using paint on the canvas and projected of images.

sin

 

 

Sinéad Mc Guinness works with both photography and sculpture in her art. She concentrates on 3D constructions built from 2D images while integrating time. For her it is a mental construct as well as a playful and physical one. They are images that brim with the domestic, creating the atmosphere of a dollshouse.
