Array Collective
ABOUT THE WORK
This tea towel is part of Array Collective’s ‘An Dún’ range. ‘ new multi-narrative environment at the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin for the exhibition ‘Self-Determination: A Global Perspective’ 2024.
Across immersive spaces a complicated and messy understanding of statehood and citizenship is unearthed. Ideological, topographical and political plans are fashioned and accumulated inside a site of destruction and construction. Resting outside of time, we hear echoes of our past, present and future in ever-changing failed experiments of hope. The ‘good room’ deep within a cave, stages rituals of citizenship. Behind the scenes, plans are cooked up and mistakes are made, amidst the labour of daily life. As An Dún shifts and repositions, occupying unsteady space between reality and fiction, care and compromise endeavour to make a shared existence liveable.
