Monster Truck Gallery is pleased to showcase Tangible Seconds, a group exhibition by 2012 visual art graduates. Artists, Jake Bourke (NCAD), Barbara H. Larkin (DIT), Rory Mullen (Crawford College), Oisin Vink (DIT) and Helen O’Dea (NCAD) were selected based on running commonalities and contradictions throughout their practices. The artists were invited to show their work a second time while considering time passed since the graduate shows this year, as a tangible tool to assist further investigation and development of each piece. In addition to incorporating the gap between showing and re-showing a work, the exhibition invites associations with imagined, remembered, found and created conceptions of past events and eras. Remnants of architecture and romanticism, repetition of time and fictional narratives are explored. The dense amalgamation of artists’ practices aims to abolish our perception of clock time. Instead, the manifested understandings of the past are arranged and disordered in the space remembering and anticipating whilst existing in the present. Works exhibited take the form of video, installation, performance and photography
