For one year, we have invited Paul O’Neill to curate a new iteration of his Coalescence, a project that has been challenging the exhibition format since the early 2000s. In this third phase, the existing works give space to works that make their nest in the periphery. A swallow broods, a folded duvet sighs oh, oh, oh.
Coalescence: Happenstance With All Due Intent is a durational, accumulative and evolving exhibition-form featuring artists from all over the world to experiment with the exhibition format through collaboration, intervention, constellation and juxtaposition. Throughout the year, artists will respond to each other’s works, creating new pieces inspired by or adapting existing ones. Such actions turn the exhibition space into a dynamic environment where artists’ works merge into a collective assemblage. This exhibition challenges the boundaries of individuality and authorship, promoting a sense of cooperative and coalescent gathering.
Thank you to Culture Ireland, Cultuurfonds, Gemeente Rotterdam, Mondriaan Fonds, Kerlin Gallery, Alice Weiner, and Christophe Clarijs for making this exhibition possible!� All photos courtesy of Jhoeko and Shimmer.
