We are hurtling into the future – Galway

WE ARE HURTLING INTO THE FUTURE
Galway Arts Centre, 9 December 2016 – 14 January 2017

‘Two apparently opposed but actually linked ideas seem to underlie Kidney’s work: the one and the many. That is how, on the one hand, we experience the world from the point of view of a distinct, individual consciousness, while on the other, each individual is actually a complex amalgam of myriad processes and systems – and a minute constituent of an immense, dynamic universe. Duality and opposites turn up throughout her work: movement and stillness, chance and design, particle and duration and stasis, repetition and change.’
Aidan Dunne, The Irish Times, 07.03.2017.

WE ARE HURTLING INTO THE FUTURE is comprised of three elements: a series of paintings; Metamurmuration, a monumental site specific installation and Skimming Stones, a collaborative video work with dance artist Liadain Herriott.
