Orpheus Twice
20 September 2013–14 December 2013
An exhibition curated by Vincent Honoré, with Juliette Blightman, Marcel Broodthaers, Jason Dodge, Félix González-Torres, Rodney Graham, David Maljkovic, Bruce McLean, Katrina Palmer, John Stezaker, Danh Vo.
Borrowing its title from a work by Félix González-Torres, Orpheus Twice considers the relationship between artworks and their often fragmented, forgotten, or remote origins and sources. The exhibition explores the particular moment when an absence or a loss turns into an image, in all its multiple meanings. And when an image turns into an absence. Who is Orpheus?
