.all hawaii eNtrées / luNar reGGae
.all hawaii eNtrées / luNar reGGae is an experimental group exhibition curated by Philippe Parreno and Rachael Thomas, Senior Curator: Head of Exhibitions, at the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin. The title is an anagram extracted from the New Galleries / Na Galleraithe Nua the galleries in which the exhibition is held. Rather than a single artist producing work for an exhibition space, .all hawaii eNtrées / luNar reGGae suggests a model of sociability, which is neither prescriptive nor proscriptive. The starting point of the exhibition is not to have one set idea, but to have a placement of works alongside each other that unfold to create a vibrating temporality. Over 20 artists, writers and thinkers have been invited to participate in this project. It creates a discursive space and a continuous dialogue which allows the curators to go beyond fixed notions of the function of a group show. The collaborative nature of this exhibition seeks to deconstruct the relationship between individual artworks and the phenomenological effects of space and light.
From Ulysses return home to sci-fi short stories, a way of changing how we look at an exhibition to re-adjust our vision.
