Construct at Cob Gallery

Cob Gallery is pleased to announce its latest group exhibition Construct featuring work by Emma Adler, Bobby Dowler, Sylvie Hayes-Wallace, Ali Glover, Dux Pacifico, Anne Tallentire and Charlotte Thrane. Curated by Brooke Wilson.

Examining object biography, material manipulation and the process of building meaning, Construct is an exhibition exploring the very essence of its definition. The term construct defines the act of building or uniting materials to formulate a second structure, a second meaning. Through the lens of various materials and methods of assemblage, this exhibition examines the purpose of construction as a means of communication.

By removing objects from their natural state and transforming them, domestic materials begin to comment on social infrastructure; found detritus sparks conversation around our object-fascinated culture, and reused canvas challenges the norms of conventional fine art materials. Revelling the tension between building and breaking down personal and collective narratives, Construct displays the materials artists excavate, appropriate, manipulate and collect in order to decode the world around them.
