Illusive Utopias

GENERATORprojects is excited to bring to you our upcoming show Illusive Utopias

This duo exhibition features newly commissioned work from Amy Gear and Emily Johnston

✨Illusive Utopias is centered around the elusiveness of varying utopian ideals. Thinking about the repetitive reimagining and writing of our lives and how the places we live, who we are and politics affect this reimagining. The two artists in this show are from vastly different utopias, each sharing similarities of social and environmental crises occurring currently within Shetland and Dublin. ✨

🔆 Shetland-based artist Amy Gear's practice explores possible (and impossible) interrelationships between the land and the body, knotting together notions of identity, language, knowledge and imagination. She works across a broad range of media. More recently Amy's inspiration has come from rhyming children's picture books, breastfeeding, birth and babies. 

🔹 Dublin-born artist, Emily Johnston's practice is process-driven and material focused. Her means of praxis is through a careful arrangement of object-based assemblages. Emily is interested in models, empty space, poems, thinking through making, mapping, site responsivity, objects acting as vessels for memories and autofictious world-making; as a way to link local and cosmic realities with a focus on the speculative power of fiction.
