‘Whistling in the Dark’ Exhibition at Workshop Gallery

Attend the “Whistling in the Dark” exhibition at the Workshop Gallery by artists Vartan Avakian, Daniel Barroca, Maeve Brennan, Ilaria Lupo and Joe Namy.

You whistle in the dark to courageously confront an imaginary incertitude. The sound is extending, resonating out of your body while you try and overcome your doubts in the hope that it will turn out well. However, instead of finding shelter, you are exposed in a maze. You might approach a situation with limited understanding or no awareness of its potential results. You talk about matters although lacking sufficient knowledge of them. What will happen if we decide to face the figments of this uncertainty? The uncertainty of knowing what is real…

The exhibited artists investigate and raise questions concerning history and reality. In this quest, the medium of recording in all its varieties becomes an indispensable asset. Recordings are traces. A sound piece, a videotape and a drawing convey an image of truth. Is a stone also a container of traces, of time and history?
