Flux
Factory is pleased to present Terribilis Tubus, a group show of
four Glasgow-based artists in collaboration with David Dale Gallery and
Studios, including works by MFA graduates Hirofumi Suda & Risa Tsunegi and current
Flux Artists-in-Residence Rory O'Connor and MFA graduate Theodoros Stamatogiannis.
Utilizing different methods, each artist references the
formal language of architecture from varied viewpoints. Considering the
fertile ground of the construction site, and how they draw inspiration
from it, they aim to bring the boundaries and language of architecture
and sculpture together, questioning play, aesthetics, implications, and
conditions – historical, temporal and poetic – that reside in both
worlds.
The Latin title has a dual meaning in English, translating
into either “terrible pipe” or “awesome pipe.” By this translation, it
imparts an element of contemporary dialect to its meaning in order to
play with its relation to history. Through this exhibition, the artists
examine how value and meaning are given to the states (objects and
processes) of construction and deconstruction, which are seen in the
built environment. They intend to question how these states might be
approached and perceived by artists if encountered in a different
historical context.
Terribilis Tubus puts a historical setting on the
contemporary, playfully weaving language and objects, and in turn
teasing meaning through translation and context.
The exhibition is supported by Creative Scotland.
