Curated by John Tallman in association with IS-projects, Therely
Bare (Redux) has become a travelling exhibition of non-objective art
featuring the work of various artists working on the international
level. Working in a range of styles, the artists of this exhibition
share in common a subversive approach to the traditions of painting. The
exhibition title Therely Bare (Redux) is wordplay, an inversion of
“barely there.” It also hints at the curatorial premises of the
exhibition. The physical presence of the work in the exhibition is not
in question but the conceptual motives behind the work are more
ambiguous. In this sense, the work is hiding in plain sight. The
exhibition is meant to challenge typical modes of viewing and hopefully
raise questions about means of perception.
