New Exhibit at Mary Newton Gallery

A new exhibition at Mary Newton Gallery explores the contradiction of “living in a wasteland of plenty”. Andy Irving’s Random Dictates opens at the gallery on Tuesday 13 October.

Random Dictates is a grouping of objects linked only by the fact that Irving has designed and made them. Ideas about architecture and design mix with aesthetics and art objects to produce an altered space within the gallery.

“Irving works in the space between architecture, design, and art” says co-director Mary-Jane Duffy. “As a result the exhibition is about functionality, but also about its aesthetics, and using functional materials to create art.”

“Random Dictates is a haphazard structure, a planned incoherent grouping of themes and forms organised with anarchic clarity. It is the contradiction of living in a wasteland of plenty” said Irving.

Random Dictates runs until 7 November 2009.
