Black Church Print Studio present Pruːf, a group exhibition curated by Sarah Pierce at The Library Project, 4 Temple Bar.
Pruːf draws on Sarah Pierce's ongoing interest in alternative ways of knowing, thinking, acting and making. Queer(ed) identities, false histories, and radical mysticisms overlap as drives in the exhibition. Pierce has selected twelve works from across geographies and historical periods focusing on artworks that question what is seen, cast as truth, and where the image lies. Several works in the show are unfinished, damaged, or refer to research in progress or artworks that were never made; others were never untended to be seen as art and have been gathered for this presentation only.
Pruːf uses an alternative spelling to orthodox English to suggest intrinsically modular attributes, less about legibility and more about enunciation. 'Proof' refers to evidence but is always accompanied by interpretation. In printmaking, the artist's proof indicates a trial impression outside the final edition.
A special edition zine with the artist's biographies and an expanded list of works will accompany the exhibition.
