Other Logic
An exhibition of works by Clodagh Lavelle, and Aideen Doran
Other Logic by Belfast based artists Clodagh Lavelle and Aideen Doran is a thought provoking exhibition of new work from their individual emerging practices, including sculpture and wall drawing. Lavelle and Doran share a playful approach to the display and installation of their work, constantly drawing connections and questioning the relationships between image, action, text and objects.
Lavelle’s work, communicates the ineffable through disjointed narratives and transformative objects. Ideas or notions of freedom and struggle, objects, love, change and movement are some of the prevailing concerns.
Doran appropriates obsolete and obscure cultural material and reweaves new narratives from it. Recent sculptural and drawn work, which use ephemeral materials to reference utopian ideals in modernist architecture have informed this thought provoking new body of work .
