Keith Winter at The Joinery, Dublin

Hide those dirty hands: Keith Winter

22nd September – 02nd October
Opens 22nd 6-8pm
Runs daily 12-6pm

In his sculptures Northern Irish artist Keith Winter explores the aesthetic potential of stock building materials through works inspired by the extreme cases of order and chaos in the city, assembled in the style of the handyman or bricoleur.
Between the extraction of rubble from rogue office squats to the replication of glimmering corporate high-rise, Winter presents a symbiotic relationship between State and Rebel, action and inertia, glory and tragedy, where one cannot exist without the other.

In Hide those dirty hands Winter shows how his abstraction of formal architectures and the presentation of constructed debris can afford you to witness the breakdown of superstructures into their basic modules. His palette consists of shattered glass, collapsing cardboard, crumbling concrete and tarpaulin glory holes contrasting with mirrored prisms, sterile vitrines and glossy facades.

Keith Winter lives and works between London and Belfast. He co-founded Space Delawab in 2008 and recently co-founded AllotropePress in 2011. Recent exhibitions have been in Bahrain, Belfast and New York – upcoming solo shows are in The Joinery, Dublin 22nd September – 02nd October, and in Chiyoda 3331, Tokyo 27th October – 11th November.

The Joinery is a contemporary art and project space set up in 2008. Concerned mostly with exhibiting contemporary visual art, recently the space has also been host to a number of experimental live musical performances and sound / performance art.
