On view: September 11 to October 30, 2021
Artist Reception: Saturday, September 11, from 4pm to 7pm
For our fall 2021 season, Themes+Projects presents Same Same by Kelly Duffield. Duffield’s paintings contain collage-driven scenes of domestic life that are often strange, surreal and sufficiently ambiguous to evoke the viewer’s imagined or projected meanings. Allowing found images to influence the narrative brings Duffield’s subconscious thoughts to the work and results in combining imagery in unexpected ways to convey unspoken thoughts and meaning.
Inspiration for the Same Same exhibition came from the 2019 novel of the same name by Peter Mendelsund. The protagonist in the book attends an international artists’ residency of sorts in a far away desert. While there, he discovers the Same Same shop where the shopkeeper has the mysterious ability to replicate and even make better any item brought into the shop.
